Where Physis Finds Light: Responsibility, Relationship, and the Nordic Path in Transactional Analysis

In this closing session and reflection, Roland Johnsson explores how Nordic TA has emerged through the interplay between existential philosophy, therapeutic practice, research, and Nordic collaboration. Drawing on the Responsibility Model and Eric Berne’s concept of physis, he invites participants to reflect together on the Nordic contribution to Transactional Analysis and its future development.
