Ego States and the Self-Concept: A Panel Presentation and Discussion

Abstract

In excerpts from a panel presentation and discussion of transactional analysis theory, the panelists discuss the relationship between ego state theory and theories of behavioral and phenomenological psychology as well as theories of the self-concept and the concept of no-self. Alternate theories of how change processes affect the updating of ego states are presented.
