Parent-child relationships develop within the milieu of this narrative, impacting the scripts of both individuals. Drawing on their experience as mothers and therapists, the authors examine the relationship between themselves and their autistic children, the mutuality of their experience, and its impact on their cocreated script. Vignettes are included throughout to illustrate the points made. Models of disability, ableism, and the history of autism research and clinical practice are integrated with TA theory, including script and ego states. The work of autistic authors, in particular Milton’s ideas of the double empathy problem, is used to support readers to challenge their unconscious bias and create space for authentic autistic expression.","PeriodicalId":37049,"journal":{"name":"Transactional Analysis Journal","volume":"8 9","pages":"31 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors propose that there is value in incorporating theories of a core organismic self alongside transactional analysis theory of ego structure in accounting for our unique qualities endowed since birth, including neurodiversity. They suggest that the sense of self is formed by two relational processes: the I-I relationship between structural ego states and the core self and the I-Other relationship between structural ego states and others. The authors propose that the accommodations made by a neurodivergent person generally lead to script decisions emerging from their sense of self, which are often categorized as lazy, stupid, and disruptive. The article offers some thinking about these script decisions’ complementary functions.","PeriodicalId":37049,"journal":{"name":"Transactional Analysis Journal","volume":"84 4","pages":"47 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stimulated by the responses of governments and the governed to the coronavirus pandemic (from 2020) and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia (in 2022), the author considers how this specific aspect of Bernean group theory may be used to understand these and other examples of violations of group structure. The article and its analysis are first positioned as a transactional analysis contribution to social psychology. Following this, the article provides a review of the TA literature on war and a brief discussion of group structure and leadership; highlights the six ways Berne identified by which a group’s existence can be terminated; and finally, suggests a certain sequence to these processes.Keywords: Wartransactional analysisgroup structuregroup processesdecaydisruptiondestructioninfiltrationerosionattrition AcknowledgmentsThe author acknowledges and thanks Karen Minikin for reminding him about Berne’s three “Ds” of group process and encouraging him to write this article as well as both Karen and Giles Barrow for encouraging him to expand the scope of the original draft.

The article touches on the author’s personal exploration and considers relevant philosophical ideas and political systems and systemic processes. She aims to understand the educator’s role through the experience in the Indian cultural context of having a rich heritage with ancestral influences that contribute to academic rigidity and a dogmatic approach. She asks from a systemic perspective what influences academic rigidity in the Indian TA community and what unconscious process has been part of the Indian psyche for the TA educator. Instances are given of issues that inhibit the educator’s flexibility unconsciously and the learner’s culture shock experiences that can result in chaos and confusion. The article concludes with a perspective on the learning space using Cupsa’s stages of change, which learners and educators can contribute to in the process of becoming.Keywords: Transactional analysisSanskritizationIslamizationWesternizationcolonializationglobalizationEthnic Child ego stateacademic rigiditycontaminationculture shock AcknowledgmentsThe author thanks Giles Barrow, Trudi Newton, and Traian Bossenmayer for their thoughts, input, and encouragement throughout the preparation of this article.Disclosure statementThe author declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.Additional informationFundingThe author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.Notes on contributorsHaseena AbdullaHaseena Abdulla is a Provisional Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (psychotherapy) who maintains a private practice as a psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer in India.
