“…For Freire, education was a way of making a practical difference in the world. Again, this parallels what, for some in transactional analysis, is the social/political purpose of therapy (e.g., see Tudor and Hargaden's 2002 work on the contribution of psychotherapy to citizenship).…”

“In the Manner of”: Transactional Analysis Teaching of Transactional Analysts

This article explores transactional analysis (TA) teaching—that is, teaching “in the manner of TA”—and distinguishes it from teaching TA from a generic educational perspective, an activity that may or may not be analyzed in transactional analysis terms. The author applies transactional analysis philosophy, practice, and theory to the teaching and training of transactional analysts and, in doing so, reviews the literature on TA teaching, as distinct from teaching TA. Drawing on literature about education and learning, as well as about teaching and training, the article makes the point that all transactional analysis trainers are, in effect, in the educational field of application. Therefore, those trainers in the clinical (psychotherapy and counseling) and organizational fields could—and perhaps should—draw more on the experience and expertise of colleagues in the educational field. This, together with a previous, parallel article on transactional analysis supervision (Tudor, 2002), forms essential reading for practitioners teaching and supervising TA as well as those preparing for the Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analysis examination.

This article offers a critical review of the literature on transactional analysis (TA) and politics. It discusses Eric Berne's own relationship with politics, makes some distinctions between social psychiatry and social psychology, and comments on the influence of radical psychiatry on TA—especially in the 1960s and '70s. Finally, it offers a conceptual framework that categorises the interplay between TA and politics, and gives examples of these different aspects of TA and politics.

“…Following from that are Groder's (1977) Asklepieion psychiatric program in the US correctional services, Jacobs's (1987Jacobs's ( , 1990) work on power and nationalism, Drego's (1994) family systems work in India, and Salters's (2005) bridging of racial barriers in South Africa. Tudor and Hargaden (2002) made a political connection between psychotherapy and citizenship by emphasizing the personal development from subjectivity via intersubjectivity to become fully functioning citizens. Samuels (2001) also wrote about citizens as therapists, an idea he extends in his current paper (Samuels, 2016) with a more global and spiritual focus for the benefit and repair of the world.…”

This paper offers a response to the presentations of Farhad Dalal (2016) and Andrew Samuels (2016) at the 2015 International Transactional Analysis Conference in Sydney and published in this issue of the Transactional Analysis Journal. After introducing Dalal and Samuels as other in the transactional analysis community, the paper reflects on the core of their contributions: the “we” makes the “I” and/or the “I” makes the “we,” both of which represent a political position. Two notions are taken from their presentations: The first is about the political position of transactional analysis, which seems to be overadapting to market demands; the second is about the validity of transactional analysis concepts. These notions are linked with each other through reflections on the neoliberal context in which transactional analysis seeks to survive and the fundamental transformation or metanoia (Jung, 1970, p. 719) that is needed within transactional analysis to research the validity of transactional analysis concepts.
