Transactional analysis: image and reality

Abstract

Outlines some of the resources that transactional analysis has to offer counsellors. Discusses the origin of TA′s over‐simplified popular image, the central idea of the ego‐state model, application of the ego‐state model, the “I′m OK, you′re OK” phrase, and the counselling relationship. Surmises that TA offers counsellors the opportunity to recognise different manager/employee relationships and their chances of success.
