TA East CPD workshop: A Transcultural and Intersectional Ego State Model of the Self with Victoria Baskerville (She/her) TSTA Saturday 7th September 11am - 1.30pm www.taeast.uk/cpd  

This workshop explores Victoria Baskerville's (2022) Transcultural and Intersectional Ego State Model, considering the influence of transcultural and intersectional identity on self and others. The model considers the intersect and interplay between race, gender, and other cultural selves, accounting for the complexity of cultural experience and narrative. Through enquiry of cultural selves and through mapping on an Ego State Model, we can develop more insight into intersectional identity, including how privilege and oppression is manifested in self and enacted in the world, how we may reflect on and locate cultural impasse, unconscious bias, generational oppression, white privilege, othering, and power dynamics. 

Victoria will reflect on a dialogue with a colleague, J, where both were called to name and account for their differences. In this dialogue cultural narrative was shared and unique differences and intersectional identities were mapped and discussed. 

Participants will be invited to consider their transcultural experience and locate their intersectional identity, thus accounting for power dynamics.  

Victoria Baskerville has been practicing as a Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist, Supervisor, and Trainer for 25 years, based in multi-diverse East London. Five years ago, she founded TA East London Institute, which is housed in a community building in the heart of the urban community. Integral to every aspect of training is intersectionality, bringing counselling and psychotherapy into social and political contexts. Victoria recently completed a two year UKCP research project on Inclusivity and Exclusivity in counselling and psychotherapy training, published in the New Psychotherapist and Transactional Analyst. She is on the editorial team of the Transactional Analysts and authors ‘Amplified Voices’ each quarter. 

Victoria is currently writing a book ‘Contemporary Transactional Analysis through an Intersectional lens; Deconstruction and Reconstruction of theory and practice’ for the “Innovations in Transactional Analysis” series edited by William F. Cornell. Victoria is interested in Queer theory and how Queer identities are challenging all forms of oppression and she identifies as lesbian and Queer.
