International Journal of Transactional Analysis Research & Practice https://ijtarp.org/ <p style="text-align: center;">IJTARP is an open access journal that publishes TA theory, practice and research across the full range of TA applications. 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. And please tell your colleagues about this great free resource of TA research and practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a title="Donate to IJTARP" href="https://ictaq.org/donate-to-ijtarp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please click here to make a donation</a>.</p> International Centre For Transactional Analysis Qualifications CIC en-US International Journal of Transactional Analysis Research & Practice 2218-3159 <p><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="license"><img style="border-width: 0;" alt="Creative Commons License" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png"></a></p> <p>The work in this journal is licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p> <p>Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:</p> <p>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.</p> <p>Authors are able to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the journal's published version of the work (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in this journal.</p> <p>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See The Effect of Open Access).</p> <p><a name="privacyStatement"></a></p> Ego State Trip or Ego State Trap: Unlocking Change Through Language https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23789 <p>The article introduces a proposal for a linguistic model that combines the concepts of linguistic determinism from Sapir-Whorf, linguistic constructivism from Delia, and transactional analysis. 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> Piotr Jusik Zbigniew Wieczorek Copyright (c) 2024 Piotr Jusik, Zbigniew Wieczorek http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-29 2024-06-29 15 1 10.29044/v15i1p3 Transactional Analysis Proficiency Awards for Adolescents https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23788 <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> Sam Connors Copyright (c) 2024 Sam Connors http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-29 2024-06-29 15 1 10.29044/v15i1p35 Переосмысляя Родителя: модель эго-состояний по принципу ценности https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23787 <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> Lena Kornyeyeva Copyright (c) 2024 Lena Kornyeyeva http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-06-29 2024-06-29 15 1 10.29044/v15i1p79
