This article is the adapted transcript of a keynote speech delivered on 9 August during the 2007 International Transactional Analysis Conference in San Francisco. The conference theme was “Cooperation and Power: Relationships, Choices, and Change,” and this speech relates the theme to “process analysis” using a basic attachment model derived from George Kohlrieser that is related to Hegel's dialectic theory and Lacan's theories of the development of self. The dialectic of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis becomes a model to describe the experience of physis and unification in our cocreated process. The process of the keynote speech was intended to parallel the content.
