Abstract
In the process of considering core concepts and core competencies in transactional analysis, there are several factors that need to be taken into account: (1) biological underpinnings, (2) epistemology (constructivism, expectancy, and membership in an interpretive community), (3) the appropriate boundaries of social psychiatry, (4) practitioners' styles, and (5) the roles of eclecticism and integration.
