Abstract
This is the second essay in a three-part study of Berne's use of metaphors of energy and cathexis in the theory of transactional analysis during the period from the 1950s through the 1970s. This article considers how Schiff was guided by these metaphors and how she applied them in the treatment of schizophrenia. Schiff's work is placed in the context of the systematic development of the logic of Berne's personality theory and the application of injunctions embedded in his theory.
