“…References to spirituality and rituals in the family can appear formally or informally in conversations or routines, or can be addressed through issues limited to special cases. Transactions can be experienced personally in the family and supportive of life, as well as punitively for justifying shame or limiting/restricting guilt (Erskine et al., 1994). Transactions can also indicate reflective internalizations and habits.…”

A great deal of importance has recently been given to studies dealing with the spiritual aspect of psychological theories and approaches; the aim has been to shed light on the spiritual aspect of humanity through these conducted researches and compilations. The current study aims to explain the perspective of transactional analysis on spirituality in terms of the theory of interpersonal relations and the extent of spirituality on the understanding of transactional analysis. Mainly the views of Berne and the researchers following in his footsteps have been taken into consideration. The experience of self-transcendence has been referenced by elaborating on the concept of autonomy, which occurs in spirituality through transactional analysis. By forming a framework over the transactional analysis view on spirituality, a perspective is offered towards transactional analysis patterns and spirituality along the axis of transaction and ego states. Family prisms, which are especially effective in the process of working with families in the understanding of transactional analysis, are clarified along the axis of spirituality. In addition, brief and summary information is presented about the pilgrim model, which guides transactional analysts regarding the spiritual elements a client brings during the consultation process. This study aims to show that the understanding of transactional analysis is a theory of relations and that therapists do not exclude spirituality from the counseling process but reference spirituality, particularly when focusing on ego states, intimacy, and autonomy, although not on all the concepts discussed along the understanding axis. For this purpose, the study aims to give the point of view on spirituality in transactional analysis theory by compiling the research that has been performed.

“…Or there may be little mention of these topics, which are limited to special occasions. The transactions may be experienced as nurturing support for personal, family, and communal living or as punitive and harsh in justifying shame-or guilt-arousing limitations or restrictions (Erskine et al, 1994;Hyams, 1994). The transactions, whether embodying exteropsychic, neopsychic, or archaeopsychic dynamics, may be straightforward or ulterior and game inducing.…”

Berne and subsequent transactional analysts, with the exception of James (1973, 1981b), have paid little attention to spirituality in human development and therapeutic practice. However, spirituality, religion, and the search for meaning figure significantly in the lives of many persons in diverse cultures. Families serve as the prisms through which social influences and unique identities converge in the evolution of spirituality and religious expression. This article describes the use of spirituality-focused genograms to illustrate the interconnecting of spiritual strivings, personal choices, family contexts, and multigenerational processes from a transactional analytic perspective.

Understanding social pain dynamics can help explain and resolve avoidant and aggressive interpersonal behaviors that have an intense, intractable quality, typically accompanied by loss of Adult ego state functioning. The necessarily interpersonal nature of these pain dynamics can also involve and disable the professional, which has implications for working with these affective and behavioral dilemmas.
