The development of the psychotherapy of psychoses in Transactional Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reconstruct the process of development of the practice of psychotherapy of psychoses in Transactional Analysis. This development is studied using the framework of Kurt Danizger's historical psychology which assumes that every psychological practice should be studied in its social and professional context. Three main moments in the development of psychotherapy of psychoses in TA are analyzed: Eric Berne and psychotherapy of psychoses; Schiffs' Catexis School; and contemporary developments in TA psychotherapy of psychoses. The article discusses social, professional, and theoretical contexts that shaped the evolution of TA practice in the field of psychotherapy of psychoses.
