The author attempts to answer the question “What does transactional analysis have in common with body-centered, somatic points of view?” Transactional analysis began as an Adult-centered, rational theory, but with the introduction of the concept of strokes, Berne opened the way, perhaps unwittingly, for a somatic—Child- and body-centered—investigation of love and the emotions.
