This episode is the first audio version of the Eric Berne Memorial articles from the Transactional Analysis Journal.We plan to publish two a year as part of our sponsorship agreement.

Trudi Newton received the 2023 Eric Berne Memorial Award for her work in establishing a new metaperspective that reframes transactional analysis as positive psychology. The article cited in the nomination, which you are about to hear, read by Trudi herself, is “The Health System: Metaphor and Meaning” from the July 2007 Transactional Analysis Journal.

Trudi’s paper is an exhortation to all of us to engage in a kind of ongoing, ground-breaking process of theoretical evolution through practice, reflecting the spirit of the early pioneers in TA theory.

Peter is a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst in the Counselling field and works from his private office in Northwest Germany.

We talk about his work as a TA Counsellor, transforming the core of the 'I'm okay, you're okay' concept to a universal okayness, and shifting TA from a psychotherapeutic approach to a psychosocial health approach, integrating a political perspective.

In this episode, our panel discuss the question, "What Does the Future of TA Look Like Across the Four Fields?".

Our guests were: Deborah Robinson TSTA(O), Karen Minikin TSTA(P), Nicole Lenner PTSTA(C), and Paul Robinson PTSTA(E).

The discussion took place at the Annual UK Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA) Conference and was recorded in front of a live audience of attendees (a first for us!). The theme of the conference was: Transactional Analysis! One theory applied in four fields.

Transactional Analysis, or TA, is a psychosocial model that covers much of the human experience. Though it was initially only applied only in Psychotherapy, TA now has four fields; these are Counselling, Educational, Organisational and Psychotherapy.
