KARANGARUA - Unity through diversity in transactional analysis
Karangarua - "Someone related through two different lines; standing in a double relationship."
This book comprises peer-reviewed papers from the international transactional analysis conference held in Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand in November 2024, which took as its theme, Karangarua: unity through diversity in relationships.
Each paper in the book offers a unique response to the karanga or call across professional, cultural, spiritual, and personal realms, which invites the reader into deeper relationship with themselves, with others, and with the evolving field of transactional analysis.
The book will be of interest to transactional analysts in all its fields (i.e., counselling, education, organisations, and psychotherapy), as well as those professionals and members of the public interested in knowing more about transactional analysts.
It will also be of interest to professionals and citizens interested in cross-cultural engagement, and, specifically, bicultural engagement in Aotearoa New Zealand.

RNZ Interview with Keith Tudor

New Zealand's only Professor of Psychotherapy Keith Tudor has recently received the prestigious international Eric Berne Memorial Award for his work in the field of Transactional Analysis.
It's a theory which examines the three ego states we adopt in relating to each other: parent, adult or child, to better understand ourselves by analyzing our transactions with the people closest to us.
Keith is based at the Auckland University of Technology, where he tells Kathryn Ryan, he's been developing the idea of 'co-creative' Transactional Analysis, which includes an examination of how we might strengthen and even repair personal and working relationships, especially during current times of stress and uncertainty.
