What is Transactional Analysis?
Transactional Analysis can best be introduced by a quote from one of its most popular books, 'TA Today'. "Transactional analysis is a theory of personality and a systematic psychotherapy for personal growth and personal change". That's the definition of TA suggested by the International Transactional Analysis Association. In fact, TA today is all this and much more.
Among psychological approaches, transactional analysis is outstanding in the depth of its theory and the wide variety of its applications. As a theory of personality, TA gives us a picture of how people are structured psychologically. To do so it uses a three-part model known as the ego-state model. The same model helps us understand how people function - how they express their personality in terms of behavior. TA also provides a theory of communication. This can be extended to give a method of analysing systems and organisations...
Outside the therapeutic field, TA is used in educational settings. It helps teachers and learners to stay in clear communication and avoid setting up unproductive confrontations. It is particularly suitable for use in counselling.
TA is also a powerful tool in management and communications training and in organisational analysis. Among the many other applications of TA are its uses by social workers, police and probation authorities, and ministers of religion. TA can be used in any field where there is a need for understanding of individuals, relationships and communication.
