Abstract In outdoor practice, the life force of the more-than-human corresponds with all kinds of human physical, emotional, and psychological issues. This dynamic process offers a distinct intersubjective and interspecies space that the author presents as the ecological third. Illuminated through a case vignette and referencing her own writings and the work of Thomas Ogden, the author’s exploration of this concept conveys some of the essence of ecological transactional analysis clinical practice.

Abstract The author highlights the inherent nature of the maternal within eco-TA and explores how it can enrich and expand transactional analysis theory and practice. Eco-TA emphasizes the interconnectivity of humans and our environment. The maternal exemplifies this interconnectivity and shows how individuals are interconnected and why these connections are important. The maternal plays a significant role in evolutionary processes and thus life, birth, and rebirth of all animals, not just humans. The author suggests that the maternal can inform our understanding through elements such as conception, connection, togetherness, natality, support, health, and well-being. The article focuses on physis and introduces the new ideas of transgenerational protocol and fourth-degree impasses. The aim is to show the value of deepening knowledge and understanding of evolution and regeneration through the concept of the maternal. This may help to focus TA toward growth and evolution within the professional community toward the next generations of trainees, highlighting the importance of connectivity, togetherness, holding, regulating, educating, and passing on the legacy that is TA.

Abstract This article explores the impact of ecological transactional analysis (eco-TA) approaches on professional practice in the educational field. Through two student case studies, the author provides insight into how the theory enhances his work as a transactional analysis educator, especially through adaptation of the Permission Wheel. He encourages the transactional analysis community to consider eco-TA in their own practice.

Abstract This article explores how farm-based ecotherapy using a transactional analysis approach addresses the links between structural oppression and the symptoms of poor mental health that arise from alienation and isolation. It uses a case study of the development of Growing Well, a cooperative that supports people with poor mental health, to examine the value of using transactional analysis theories in the development of an outdoor therapeutic space on a farm. It explores how a cultivated outdoor space can offer a secure attachment experience that helps people with mental health problems to regulate themselves. The article explores the connections between ecotherapy and eco-TA and examines the nature of homonomy and physis.

G. Barrow, Hayley Marshall
Abstract The authors offer a retrospective look at the initial phase in the development of ecological transactional analysis (eco-TA). Following from the original papers in which they offered tentative definitions and principles, they here consider and engage with a range of critical observations, challenges, and opportunities to further evolve the idea of an ecological perspective on transactional analysis theory and practice. Specific themes are addressed, including the relationship between eco-TA and climate change activism, accounting for diversity and inclusion in ecological work, the issue of leadership and authority in eco-TA, the complexity of language in articulating beyond the human perspective, and the distinction between indoor and outdoor practices. Finally, the authors offer a new concept—the ecological mind—which is designed to support the evolution of eco-TA, and invite readers to reflect on practice and professional identity.

Abstract This article furthers the conversation around using eco-TA to enrich and expand our perspectives in working as transactional analysts. Although much work has been done to deepen our understanding of how people come to be who they are, we do not yet have a perspective on the complex factors that influence who we think we are at a subjective level that accounts for place and its impact on script development. The author builds on the cocreative work of Summers and Tudor to present a perspective on script in the form of the aggregate script helix as well as an eco-TA frame of reference model to support the application of this thinking in practice. These concepts, much like eco-TA, are still new, and the author notes the importance of holding space for the continued evolution of theory to support the work. Although the author’s experience is in the field of psychotherapy, she believes that the theories outlined are applicable across all fields of TA and welcomes reflections from professionals across all fields to further develop these theories.

Selina Clare, Keith Tudor
Abstract This article discusses ecotherapy practice using literature, practice, and activity outside as well as inside transactional analysis (TA). Drawing on a survey of mental health professionals regarding their use of nature in therapy sessions, and the first author’s own interpretive review of the literature, the article discusses five identified obstacles to ecotherapy and offers some solutions to those. The authors contextualize their position and experiences (as an ecotherapist and activist and as an activist scholar, respectively) and in relation to indigenous traditions and struggles in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The article aims to encourage and support transactional analysts to integrate the environment and nature into their practice and, more fundamentally, to understand their practice in the context of the environment.
