Introducing Transactional Analysis

Eric Berne, MD

Transactional analysis is a theory of personality and interpersonal relations which may be used for personal growth and change, professional development, and social development. 

Transactional analysis (TA) was developed by Eric Berne, MD (1910-1970), a Canadian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalytic therapist, as well as a number of immediate and subsequent colleagues.

 

Berne referred to TA as a social psychiatry as his interest was in how people behaved and interacted with each other, and hence his focus on transactions.
