Pages 139-150

Translator disclaimer

This article explores the author's struggle to expand his transactional analysis-based psychotherapeutic approach to include unconscious processes. In his earlier work, a primary focus on content (scripts, games, and injunctions) colluded with his clients' resistance in such a way that unconscious phenomena were avoided. Presented autobiographically, the author describes ways he began to understand and experience unconscious processes as therapist, client, and analysand.
