TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

Transactional Analysis in Vile Parle

"The eternal problem of the human being is how to structure his/her waking hours" Eric Berne, Games People Play

Transactional analysis, commonly known as "TA" to its adherents, is an integrative approach to the theory of psychology and psychotherapy. It is described as integrative because it has elements of psychoanalytic, humanist and cognitive approaches.

TA was developed by Canadian-born US psychiatrist Eric Berne during the late 1950s. TA is designed to increase the communication effectiveness of individuals: just as we can make a financial transaction, TA examines the social transactions we make with one another on a daily basis.

The main goals of Transactional Analysis as a framework are to learn to analyse our relationships with one another in terms of TA and to develop our ability to engage in straight, effective communication with one another on a daily basis.

As a theory of personality, TA describes how people are structured psychologically. It uses what is perhaps its best known model, the ego-state (Parent-Adult-Child) model to do this. This same model helps explain how people function and express their personality in their behaviour. At any one time we are in one of three possible emotional states: adult, parent or child. If we become aware of our feelings, then we have a choice of which state to be in. Without this awareness, we automatically occupy the state that we have learned from the traditional behaviour patterns in our families.
