The authors respond to the ideas presented by William F. Cornell (2015) in his article “Ego States in the Social Realm: Reflections on the Theories of Pio Scilligo and Eric Berne.” They offer additional perspectives on concepts relevant to a greater understanding of social-cognitive transactional analysis, including transference, copy processes, the well-being system, the Integrated Self, and Relational and Self ego states.
