Transactional analysis

Transactional analysis deals with the interactions of individuals. As humans, we were made to communicate with each other whether verbally or non-verbally. According to the Theorist, in communicating people have three ego states: Parent, Child and Adult state. When we communicate, we do so in one of these three states. The Parent state represents an authoritative figure that helps nurture the child and helps to enhance his or her level of communication.
