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> https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23776 <p>A theory of consciousness is presented and linked to ego states. Different levels of consciousness are described and how states of consciousness (SoCs) contain within them different collections of experiential resources, leading to limitations on how individuals can access different resources when they are in specific states. Examples are given related to everyday life, followed by ideas on how practitioners can use empathy with clients so that the clients become able to change the contents of problematic SoCs.</p> Stephen Lankton Copyright (c) 2023 Stephen Lankton http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-12-31 2023-12-31 14 2 42 53 10.29044/v14i2p42 https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23775 <p>The author presents another way to think about personality adaptations and the communication process based on a framework drawn from neurolinguistic programming about how we characterise chronological time in the space around us. It presents a model in which ego states might be diagnosed and worked with in terms of whether they are considered as in the past, the current or the future.</p> Zbigniew Wieczorek Copyright (c) 2023 Zbigniew Wieczorek http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-12-31 2023-12-31 14 2 17 23 10.29044/v14i2p17 https://ijtarp.org/article/view/23774 <p>A description is given of an leadership development programme designed and run within an organisation, including how the multi-party contracting was conducted, and how the psychological, professional and administrative levels were addressed.
