Transactional Analysis
•Dr. Eric Berne, the originator of TA, defined a term
 transaction - the fundamental unit of social
intercourse.

•TA describes how people are structured
psychologically. It uses what is perhaps its best
known model, the ego-state (Parent-Adult-Child)
model, to do this

•It is a theory of communication that can be extended
to the analysis of systems and organisations
