Abstract
In this response to de Graaf and Rosseau (2015), the author appreciates the way they identify and discuss conflict avoidance within the transactional analysis community and their appeal for greater authenticity. She likens TA voluntary associations to the Quakers and identifies a similar culture or frame of reference, which she then examines in terms of spiral dynamics (Graves, 2005). A way of working toward reconciliation using Kraybill’s (1988) cycle of reconciliation is offered.
