The effects and effectiveness of being trained in Transactional Analysis. An empirical study
Main Article Content
Abstract
An empirical qualitative study on the effectiveness of non-therapeutic TA-training is presented. It was carried out during the period 2008–2010 within the frame of a PhD thesis at Sigmund Freud University in Vienna. The results of this study have been published under the title of “Transaktionsanalyse und Salutogenese“ (Waxmann 2011). The present article presents and discusses the research questions, the selection of the study method, the research design and some specific results of the study, such as changes in the Sense of Coherence.
