The use of transactional analysis in working with youth

Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue

Abstract

The author of the article demonstrates an example of using transactional analysis in working with young people. The key elements mentioned in the article include the ego structure and interpersonal games. The knowledge of what governs human behaviour can be helpful in predicting the effects of work with the youth, which also applies to transactional games, in which participants can choose their place or refuse to take part in the game. The refusal to play the game turned out to be the most effective strategy in the author's work as a camp instructor. Transactional analysis proved very useful in this kind of work, as it helped to distinguish between what the instructor could do from what she was not able to do.
