Contextual Transactional Analysis: The Inseparability of Self and
World offers a novel and comprehensive reworking of key concepts in
transactional analysis, offering insight into the causes of
psychological distress and closing the gap between training and
clinical practice. By providing a bigger picture - as much
sociological as psychological - of what it means to be human, the
book makes an essential contribution to current debates about how
best to account for and work with the social and cultural
dimensions of client experience. James M. Sedgwick captures the
ongoing importance of what happens around us and the distinctive
kinds of psychological distress that arise from persistent and
pervasive environmental disadvantage. Beginning with a view of
people as always situated and socialised, the book highlights the
many ways that the world always and everywhere constrains or
enables thought and action. Ranging through ideas about the kinds
of contextual conditions which might make psychological distress
more likely and illuminating the complex relationship between
socialisation and autonomy, the book suggests what the implications
of these conclusions might be for clinical understanding and
practice. Sedgwick's insightful and compassionate work revises the
theoretical framework, fills a current gap in the clinical
literature and points the way to greater practitioner efficacy.
Contextual Transactional Analysis will be an insightful addition to
the literature for transactional analysts in practice and in
training, for professionals interested in the theory and practice
of transactional analysis and anyone seeking to understand the
contribution of context to psychological distress. See the below
