Transactional Analysis-TA was developed by Dr. Eric Berne M.D. in the 1950’s, for a user friendly psychology which can be effectively used by individuals and groups. Persons are guided, with contractual application of TA, to fine tune their attitudes and behaviours- resulting in healing and empowerment in self and in relationships.
TA offers a micro and macro perspective of one’s life, beginning from the womb to the tomb and beyond. Using simple, meaningful and appropriate language, Berne has unravelled the mystery of ‘human predicament’. Concepts and theories in TA are founded on the OK’ness principle- the potential inherent in every human being succinctly captured in Berne’s statement that, all human beings are ‘born as princes and princesses’ and become ‘frogs’ due to societal conditionings. Berne has referred to human plasticity which has been established as neural plasticity by neuro scientists today. Powerful TA concepts and techniques like Ego states, Contracts and Contracting, Strokes, 3 P’s- Permission, Protection, Potency, Accounting, Role Concept, etc. are valid and valuable at present, for bringing sustainable changes in individuals, families, groups and organizations.
