ABSTRACT
Jo Stuthridge’s “Traversing the fault lines” (2012) offers a rich, evocative, and provocative discussion of the place of trauma in the genesis of therapeutic enactments and the centrality of the therapeutic relationship in the reworking of unacknowledged and unresolved trauma. Her article also traverses another fault line, one too common in contemporary transactional analysis: the fault line between what is often cast as classical, “Bernean” transactional analysis and the current valorization of “relational” transactional analysis.
