Intimacy and Autonomy are Not Enough (Is TA a Middle-Class Tranquilizer?)

Abstract

Intimacy and autonomy are considered insufficient and too self-oriented to encourage people to deal with inequality and the conditions producing alienation and oppression. As long as TA is a belief system that does not recognize its own loopholes, it functions as a middle-class tranquillizer and an endorsement of the status-quo. The writer asks whether we in TA are part of the problem or part of the solution?
