Analysis of intimacy transactions revealed two distinct operations: a high level of Child (2) to Child contact, and the active influence of the Parent (P2). Concludes that these are necessary elements for intimacy. Distinguishes between games, play, and intimacy in terms of ego states involved. Contrasts intimacy with love, which is considered to be “the readiness and willingness to be intimate,” and hence, not a time structure.
