Explanation : Transactional Analysis (TA) is a social psychology developed by Eric Berne and based loosely on the theories of Sigmund Freud. Over the past four decades, Eric Berne’s theory has evolved to include applications to psychotherapy, counselling, education, and organizational development.
Transactional Analysis is one of the most accessible theories of modern psychology. Transactional Analysis was founded by Eric
Berne and the celebrated ‘parent adult child’ theory is still being developed today.
Transactional Analysis has wide applications in clinical, therapeutic, organizational and personal development, encompassing
communications, management, personality, relationships and behaviour.
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 undergird 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 behaviours.
