Summary
Ronen Stilman discusses the shift in transactional analysis from an ego-centric theory to an eco-centric theory, focusing on wider systems and the impact of technology. He highlights the significance of our relationship with technology and how it shapes the way we relate and identify. Stilman emphasizes the attachment and dependency we have on technology, as well as the potential impact on relationships. He explores the dialectics of progress and the borderless world created by technology, while also acknowledging the challenges and costs associated with it. Stilman also discusses the shift from regulation to stimulation and the potential disconnection it can cause. The conversation explores the influence of technology on script process and identity formation. It highlights the impact of virtual interactions on day-to-day experiences, relationships, and even mental health. The discussion also touches on the power dynamics and privilege associated with technology access. The concept of ulterior transactions in transactional analysis is introduced as a way to understand the psychological level of interaction in the virtual space. The importance of recognizing and researching the significance of technology in our lives is emphasized, as well as the need for the TA community to engage in this discourse.

This episode is the first audio version of the Eric Berne Memorial articles from the Transactional Analysis Journal. We plan to publish two a year as part of our sponsorship agreement.
Trudi Newton received the 2023 Eric Berne Memorial Award for her work in establishing a new metaperspective that reframes transactional analysis as positive psychology. The article cited in the nomination, which you are about to hear, read by Trudi herself, is “The Health System: Metaphor and Meaning” from the July 2007 Transactional Analysis Journal.
Trudi’s paper is an exhortation to all of us to engage in a kind of ongoing, ground-breaking process of theoretical evolution through practice, reflecting the spirit of the early pioneers in TA theory.
