It also promotes research comparing TA and other models and non-TA research that has significant implications for TA theory or practice. It also publishes papers on the practice and theoretical underpinnings of TA.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">IJTARP has an ongoing partnership with <a href="https://taresearch.org/ijtarp-abstract-translations/">the TA Research website, where abstracts are published in a number of alternative languages </a>. These translations are kindly provided by volunteers from the international TA community.&nbsp; If abstracts in your language are not yet listed on the TA Research website and you would like to join the community of volunteers in helping create further translations, please feel free to <a href="https://www.ijtarp.org/about/contact">contact us</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Open access publishing costs money - even though the IJTARP Editor and the Reviewers, Authors and Translators all provide their services voluntarily. Big publishers charge authors c. $2000 or more per paper to make their work open to all. IJTARP charges authors nothing and lets them keep their copyright. Please help us maintain this arrangement.

Assuming that thinking and feeling are dependent on language structure, we can create a matrix representing our understanding of reality, distributed between ego states on an axis of time to which particular transactions refer. This matrix can be utilised to further work with clients, providing a direction for enquiry. Exploring transactions in this way promotes a movement to the meta-communication level, which, in turn, aids clients to develop their Integrating Adult. The article presented a brief analysis of work with clients in terms of the ego state timeline model (ESTM) with reflections on the significance of language in shaping one’s frame of reference, illustrated with practical examples of application.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00-04:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Piotr Jusik, Zbigniew Wieczorek https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23788 Transactional Analysis Proficiency Awards for Adolescents 2024-06-28T15:21:50-04:00 Sam Connors sjconnors2004@yahoo.co.uk <p>A comprehensive review of how adolescence is a period of major transition is followed by the suggestion that a transactional analysis programme that has been running internationally for several years might usefully be introduced into UK schools, and readers are invited to become involved.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00-04:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Sam Connors https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23787 Переосмысляя Родителя: модель эго-состояний по принципу ценности 2024-06-28T15:05:10-04:00 Lena Kornyeyeva dr.kornyeyeva@gmail.com <p>Два интегративных компонента эго-состояния Родитель в исходной функциональной модели пересматриваются в контексте психотерапевтической работы и ее эффективности. Представлена и аргументирована альтернативная интерпретация функциональной модели, основанная как на теоретических соображениях, широко принятых в профессии, так и на практической реализации пересмотренной модели. Настоящая разработка основана на принципе ценности, т.е. на предпосылке, что потребность в подтверждении ценности является основной социальной потребностью и что опыт обесценивания со стороны значимой родительской фигуры вызывает психологическую травму и сопутствующие дефициты и компенсации. Обсуждается важность самооценки в контексте привязанности, «нарциссической раны» и уязвимости, также приведены эмпирические данные и терапевтические реакции в психотерапевтической практике. Для иллюстрации применения модели представлен практический пример парной терапии.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00-04:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Lena Kornyeyeva
