Transactional Analysis was founded by Eric Berne and he brought together some of the most effective ideas in counselling and psychotherapy (analytic, cognitive behavioural, social, phenomenological) into a powerful body of theory and practice. Transactional Analysis holds the humanistic values which believe that we have a natural aspiration to live in harmony with themselves and others.
Transactional Analysis is an effective and useful approach to psychotherapy and counselling as it offers a thorough body of theory while its methodology lends itself to different ways of working within the therapeutic relationship.
TA offers both a theory of personality and intrapsychic understanding and a way of analysing and working with relationship difficulties and life problems.
