Ego States – A Round Table Discussion

Heather Fowlie, Adrienne Lee, Charlotte Sills and Keith Tudor
Ego States – A Round Table Discussion 

In this insightful recorded round table, a panel of experienced transactional analysts revisit Eric Berne’s evolving thinking on ego states — the core concept at the heart of transactional analysis.

Berne drew on many different influences while developing his ideas, often revising his original structural ego state model. By the time of his death in 1970, he had presented several variations — a testament to his creative, integrative approach. But this creativity also left behind inconsistencies, particularly regarding second-order structures and the nature of the Adult Ego State.

In this discussion, the panel explores how these unresolved contradictions have inspired later generations to refine and advance Berne’s theories. Each speaker shares how they have made sense of, critiqued, and adapted ego state models to anchor and enrich their own clinical work.

Originally recorded on 22nd November 2023, this recording is ideal for transactional analysts wanting to deepen their understanding of ego states and gain insights from different contemporary perspectives.
