“…It is as if I invite others not to believe me unless they are close enough to be like my brother and (very young) uncle, who knew what was happening, had their own issues, and were in any case powerless to intervene. I doubt I am the only volunteer to find their childhood history repeated, although I may be unusual in that I am less concerned with the 'seduction of normativity', which Minikin (2021) describes as underlying systemic power because "we are relationally bound with context and the wider systems in which we live."

The author introduces a psychological game named TAMED – the TA Myth of Explanatory Depth, which she suggests provides an explanation of unhealthy dynamics occurring within transactional analysis membership and professional associations. She illustrates this with four case examples based on personal experiences. She also provides an overview of TA theory about psychological games, the bystander role, the various roles within the drama triangle and extensions of it, and the potency pyramid. She provides a selection of materials by TA and non-TA authors to support the premise that such games are more to do with organisational and group processes than the script of the individual who is seen as the cause of the conflict. The article concludes with some initial thoughts about how TA organisational diagrams need amending to reflect the structure and dynamics of professional associations.
