ABSTRACT
The relational approach to TA has developed over the last twenty years as an emerging tradition (Cornell and Hargaden, 2005). Hargaden and Sills (2002) describe their own journey to relational therapy as being driven out of recognizing a change in the typical presenting pro®le of clients and an increase in clients presenting with disorders of the self such as borderline, narcissistic and schizoid structures (Masterson and Lieberman, 2004).
