Abstract
This article was originally submitted as a letter to the editor in response to the article by Graham Barnes (2004) entitled, “Homosexuality in the First Three Decades of Transactional Analysis: A Study of Theory in the Practice of Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.” In that article, Barnes cites the case of Mr. D., one of Eric Berne's patients and a homosexual to demonstrate that theory comes before the psychotherapy and the psychotherapy precedes the psychopathology.
