Transactional Analysis (TA) has continued to grow and develop ever
since its inception by the Canadian-American psychiatrist Dr Eric
Berne over a half century ago. It has proven itself to be an
extremely useful model for human relations professionals working in
a variety of contexts and fields, such as psychotherapy, coaching
and counselling, manag
The body, of both the patient and the analyst, is increasingly a
focus of attention in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and
practice, especially from a relational perspective. There is a
renewed regard for the understanding of embodied experience and
sexuality as essential to human vitality. However, most of the
existing literature has been written by analysts with no formal
training in body-centered work. In this book William Cornell draws
on his experience as a body-centered psychotherapist to offer an
informed blend of the two traditions, to allow psychoanalysts a
deep understanding, in psychoanalytic language, of how to work with
the body as an ally. The primary focus of Somatic Experience in
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy situates systematic attention to
somatic experience and direct body-level intervention in the
practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. It provides a close
reading of the work of Wilhelm Reich, repositioning his work within
a contemporary psychoanalytic frame and re-presents Winnicott's
work with a particular emphasis on the somatic foundations of his
theories. William Cornell includes vivid and detailed case
vignettes including accounts of his own bodily experience to fully
illustrate a range of somatic attention and intervention that
include verbal description of sensate experience, exploratory
movement and direct physical contact. Drawing on relevant theory
and significant clinical material, Somatic Experience in
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy will allow psychoanalysts an
understanding of how to work with the body in their clinical
practice. It will bring a fresh perspective on psychoanalytic
thinking to body-centred psychotherapy where somatic experience is
seen as an ally to psychic and interpersonal growth. This book will
be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychodynamically oriented
psychotherapists, transactional analysts, body-centred
psychotherapists, Gestalt therapists, counsellors and students.
William Cornell maintains an independent private practice of
psychotherapy and consultation in Pittsburgh, PA. He has devoted 40
years to the study and integration of psychoanalysis, neo-Reichian
body therapy and transactional analysis. He is a Training and
Supervising Transactional Analyst and has established an
international reputation for his teaching and consultation.
In this book, Wilma Bucci applies her skills as a cognitive
psychologist and researcher to the fields of psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy, opening up new avenues for understanding the
underlying processes that facilitate therapeutic communication and
change. Grounded in research geared to understanding and
demonstrating the clinical process (rather than "outcome") of
analytic inquiry and therapeutic dialogue, Bucci's multiple code
theory offers clinicians, researchers, trainers, and students new
perspectives on the essential, often unlanguaged, foundations of
the psychotherapeutic endeavour.

Self-examination in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy provides open
and intimate accounts of the experience of being in psychotherapy.
The internal life of the therapist is as much at the heart of the
stories told as those of the clients. William F. Cornell here
writes in a more personal and literary voice, avoiding as much as
possible, the dense theoretical language that often typifies
analytic writing. Central to the thesis elaborated in this book is
that of how the therapist's own personal history and unconscious
motivations can deepen or distort the therapist's understanding of
the client. One chapter is devoted to the frank discussion of the
author's work with a client that was not only unhelpful but in fact
harmful. Cornell emphasizes the capacity to call one's self into
question as a fundamental outcome of psychotherapy and
psychoanalysis. Attention is paid to the conscious and unconscious
forces that create profound dynamic tensions between the enlivening
desire for a fuller life and the defenses that deaden one's
capacity to think and to engage more fully in one's life and
relationships. The dynamics of transgenerational transmission of
grief, loss, and trauma are also examined closely. The
psychotherapist as person and professional, rather than the
clients, is at the heart of this book. Self-examination in
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy will appeal to all psychoanalysts
and psychoanalytic psychotherapists who will find an exceptionally
open discussion of the challenges, learning, and meanings of being
a psychotherapist.

In this fascinating and robust volume, the editors have compiled a
collection of articles that provides an account of their individual
theoretical journeys as they trace the evolution of relational
transactional analysis. They re-examine the term 'relational',
offering the reader a multiplicity of ways in which to
conceptualise the theory of transactional analysis from a truly
pluralistic perspective. This collection of 14 stunning articles
from the Transactional Analytic Journal, written over a period of
nearly three decades, traces the evolutionary process of a way of
thinking that incorporates both theoretical innovations and
advanced methodological ideas. Central to the themes of this book
is a theoretical understanding of the bidirectionality of the
relational unconscious, alongside a methodology that not always,
but most often, demands a two-person methodology in which the
therapist's subjectivity comes under scrutiny. Uniquely useful as a
research tool for psychotherapists interested in the most up to
date psychological theories, this book offers a perspective on
relational theory that is both respectful and critical. It will be
of enormously useful to the trainee, the researcher, the clinician
and the supervisor and will help inform the development of a
clinical dialectical mind.
Transactional Analysis (TA) has continued to grow and develop ever
since its inception by the Canadian American psychiatrist Dr Eric
Berne over a half century ago. It has proven itself to be an
extremely useful model for human relations professionals working in
a variety of contexts and fields, such as psychotherapy, coaching
and counselling, management and organisational development, or
parenting and education. TA combines an accessible theory on the
development of people and systems with a practical approach,
centred on the possibilities of change, growth and development.
Into TA is a comprehensive textbook of contemporary TA in theory
and practice. The first section of the book focusses on theory,
presented so that both beginning and experienced professionals will
find much of value. TA theory is then further integrated with other
current models of psychology, education, and organisational
consultation. The second section provides rich and stimulating
examples of TA in practice that bring the theory to life.
At the Interface of Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalysis, and
Body Psychotherapy revolves around two intertwined themes: that of
the critique and expansion of the theory and practice of
transactional analysis and that of the generative richness
discovered at the intersection of transactional analysis,
psychoanalysis, and somatic psychotherapy. William F. Cornell
explores the work of psychotherapists and counsellors through the
lenses of clinical theory, practice, supervision, and ethics. The
reader is thus invited into a more vivid experience of being
engaged and touched by this work's often deep, and at times
difficult, intimacy. The book is grounded in the approaches of
contemporary transactional analysis and psychoanalysis, using
detailed case discussions to convey the flesh of these
professional, and yet all too human, working relationships.
Attention is paid to the force and richness of the transferential
and countertransferential tensions that pervade and enliven the
therapeutic process. Unconscious processes are viewed as
fundamentally creative and life-seeking, with the vital functions
of fantasy, imagination, and play brought into the foreground. In
the era of short-term, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, and
evidence-based models of counselling and psychotherapy, At the
Interface of Transactional Analysis, Psychoanalysis, and Body
Psychotherapy seeks to demonstrate the power and creativity of
longer-term, dynamically oriented work.
