Transactional Analysis is a psychoanalytic theory and a type of therapy that was developed by a psychoanalytically-trained Psychiatrist, Eric Berne. In understanding an individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behavior, this specific type of therapy takes into consideration the ego state of the individual \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether they are parent-like\/exteropsyche, adult-like\/neopsyche or child-like\/archaeopsyche (also known as the P-A-C Model). Individuals are then encouraged to change their ego state in order to deal with their respective psychological issues.<\/p>\n
In Transactional Analysis, the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153transaction\u00e2\u20ac\u009d describes the fundamental unit of social intercourse, while \u00e2\u20ac\u0153transactional analysis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d being the study of social interactions between individuals.<\/p>\n
In development of Transactional Analysis,\u00c2\u00a0Berne evaluated the complexities of human communication. For example, most other forms of analysis don’t factor in\u00c2\u00a0facial expressions, gestures, body language, and tone. \u00c2\u00a0These non-verbal modes of communication play in important role in the interaction between and across both adults and children. \u00c2\u00a0Cross cultural communications also have non-verbal elements of communication as there may be language issues as well as different norms within a culture.<\/p>\n
Most mental health clinicians naturally use non-verbal cues in understanding their client’s communications and some of the therapists also will incorporate that into the therapy.<\/p>\n
