Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Autonomy is one of the key concepts in transactional analysis. A six-year research project in the Netherlands offers new indications of what this concept really means. Factor analysis was used to look for confirmation of Berne's hypothesis-that autonomy is manifested in the person's capacity for awareness, spontaneity, and intimacy-as well as the suggestion by other authors who added a fourth capacity: responsibility. The results show a different and interesting outcome. The data provides a powerful indication that autonomy is nothing more (or less) than good contact.
