What is Transactional Analysis? Transactional Analysis (TA) is a model of psychotherapy used for understanding human development and facilitating change to life patterns. TA provides a stimulating and engaging framework to understand how we have developed into who we are and how we relate and communicate with others. TA offers explanations as to how we continue to repeat patterns of behaviour, thinking and feeling; that may be self-defeating and painful. TA's concept of 'life-script' explains how we can continue to re-play childhood strategies in life today and this can limit an individual's potential. Once we become aware of our self-defeating patterns and self-limiting beliefs they become available to change. This is achieved by working together contractually to achieve the desired therapeutic goals. TA is used with individuals, couples and groups and is effective with a wide range of therapeutic issues.
