Thus, they complement each other very well. At times, counselors have to work with offensive, devaluating, passive, and otherwise challenging clients; furthermore, they can face confounded counseling tasks, e.g., having to counsel, control, evaluate or protect at the same time. Merging the central principles of PCEPthe experiential process and the encounterwith the TA focus on dysfunctional communication processes and challenging confrontations, may provide fertile ground for dissolving stuck processes in such counseling situations. Therefore, the paper presents a catalog of fourteen PCEP and TA perspectives, with examples, and unfolds their potential implications. We argue that the two approaches may enrich one another in difficult or confounded counseling situations. La psychothérapie centrée sur la personne et expérientielle et l'analyse transactionnelle. Contributions de deux approches humanistes devant des situations de counselling confrontantes ou confuses.
