Transactional Analysis is a theory in psychology developed by Dr Eric Berne. It is a psycho-social theory using transactions to analyse relationships and challenging people situations individuals may find themselves in. It is used to enable people to change their transacting style and adapt their approaches with colleagues, staff, managers, customers and suppliers. The course is highly interactive.
