The late Eric Berne, MD, the principal developer and innovator of transactional analysis
Øcommonly known as TA to its adherents, is a psychoanalytic theory of psychology developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne during the late 1950s.
Øis a theory of personality and a systematic psychotherapy for personal growth and personal change.
Øis a theory of communication which extends to a method of analysing systems and organizations.

Øit offers a theory for child development.
Øis a method of understanding people's behaviour by analysing the 'transactions' or interactions which transpire between people. It was developed in the 1950's using a framework based on Freud, though it deviated from his ideas in several areas.

 Transactional Analysis is a practical educational psychology that offers a way of transforming educational philosophy and principles into everyday practice.
TA concepts provide a flexible and creative approach to understanding how people function and to the connections between human behaviour, learning and education.


Effective educators offer empathic acceptance of all human beings as people together with respect for their dignity. These qualities are at the heart of successful learning relationships.
People at any age and stage can learn to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions.
Educational difficulties can be addressed effectively with co-operative goodwill and a coherent theoretical framework that makes sense of the human dynamics involved.



Transactional Analysis is a powerful tool in the hands of organizational development specialists. Through presenting the basic concepts of transactional analysis and using it as the basic theory to under gird the objectives of their clients, organizational development specialists build a common strategy with which to address the particular needs of organizations and to build a functional relationship, as well as eliminate dysfunctional organizational behaviors.


In Transactional Analysis the OK existential position is also called the universal position because Berne assumed that "people are born OK" that is to say that people, in their innate state tend to health, healing, and a benign expectation and trust of others. This position about self and others is either maintained or lost to a “Not OK” position about self, others or both.


 Child ("archaeopsychic"): a state in which people revert to behaving, feeling and thinking close to how they did in childhood. For example, a person being told off by the boss at work may look down and feel shame or anger, as they used to when being told off as a child.


Example 1a:
A: "Have you been able to write that report?" (Adult to Adult)
B: "Will you stop hassling me? I'll do it eventually!" (Child to Parent)
is a crossed transaction likely to produce problems in the workplace. "A" may respond with a Parent to Child transaction. For instance:
A: "If you don't change your attitude you'll get fired"
Example 2a:
A: "Is your room tidy yet?" (Parent to Child)
B: "I'm just going to do it, actually." (Adult to Adult)
is a more positive crossed transaction. However there is the risk that "A" will feel aggrieved that "B" is acting responsibly and not playing his role, and the conversation will develop into:
A: "I can never trust you to do things!" (Parent to Child)
B: "Why don't you believe anything I say?" (Child to Parent)

In 1968 Dr Stephen Karpman, an award winning and highly respected psychiatrist, known for his contributions to transactional analysis, developed a concept that has helped people across the globe identify the drama and eliminate the destructive patterns that hamper productivity and damage relationships. The concept is known as the Karpman Drama Triangle.
Dr Karpman’s Drama Triangle is one model that transactional analysts use in workshops to help people to “stop the drama” so that they can reach their potential and build rewarding relationships. Once one learns about the model, one becomes better at managing conflict whether one is a leader in an organization or trying to parent teenagers.
