• Many times Eric Berne posed but never answered Freud's question, "What do women want?"-nor did he actually ask it of the women in his professional seminar. Had he lived, where would he be today on this subject? Would he be able to answer it, and if so, how? To answer this question now, Eric would be able to draw on the work of feminist scholars that was only beginning to emerge at the time of his death. Drawing on that scholarship, this article fleshes out a possible route he might have taken to arrive at some answers and suggests what some of his answers might be. The author also details the experiences and difficulties she and other women faced in the 1960s as the international transactional analysis movement grew in its earliest days.
