Transactional analysis
Transactional analysis, commonly known as TA to its adherents, is a
psychoanalytic (ie, consciously post-
Freudian) theory of
psychology developed by Canadian-born US
psychiatrist Eric Berne during the late 1950s.The fact is that TA is not only post-Freudian but according to its founder's wishes consciously extra-Freudian. That is to say that while it has its roots in psychoanalysis - since Berne was a psychoanalytic-trained psychiatrist - it was designed as a dissenting branch of psychoanalysis in that it put its emphasis on transactional, rather than "psycho-", analysis.

Transactional Analysis (TA)
System of psychotherapy created by psychiatrist Eric Berne, M.D. (d. 1970), and the subject of two bestsellers: Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships (1964) and I'm OK--You're OK (1967). Fundamental to TA is the hypothesis that "ego states"--attitudes during transactions and corresponding sets of behavior patterns--fall into three categories: parental (preceptive or didactic, admonitory), adult (evaluative), and childlike (emotional and creative).
