Introduction
• Transactional Analysis(TA) is a theory of personality, a language
of behavior, and an organized system of interactional therapy.
• It is grounded on the assumption that we make current decisions
based on our early experiences.
• The TA Therapist focuses on helping clients rethink and redecide
these early decisions in light of present circumstances.
• TA emphasizes the cognitive and behavioral aspects
• The goal of TA is Autonomy (awareness, spontaneity and
capacity for intimacy)
• TA participants learn how to recognize the three ego
states: Parent, Adult and Child--in which they function.
• TA provides an Interactional and Contractual approach
to groups.
• It is interactional in that it emphasizes the dynamics of
transactions between people,
• and it is contractual in that group members develop clear
statements of what they will change and how they will be
different as a result of being in a group.
Historical Background of TA
• Ego State
Set of related thoughts,
feelings and behaviors in which
part of an individual's personality
is manifested at a given time.
Key Concepts
• Parent ego State
Contains the values, morals,
core belief, and behaviors
incorporated from signifcant authority
figures, primarily one's parents.
This ego state is expressed
towards other in critical or nurturing
behavior.
The parent contains “Shoulds”
and “Oughts” for living.
