Transactional Analysis

 

Transactional Analysis (TA) is rooted in psychoanalysis using the personality elements of Parent, Child, Adult, and Script to define personality.

In part these elements are interchangeable with the psychoanalysis identifications of id, ego, and superego.

This form of identification has made Transactional Analysis much more accessible and understandable. Eric Burne was at the forefront in the creation and definition of this form of psychotherapy.

Transactional Analysis works on the understanding that much of our troubles lie within our scripts. Scripting starts in childhood as a survival strategy and continues throughout our development into adults.
