Berne translated the relatively complex language used by Freud; where Freud talked about the three ego states as the id, the ego and the super ego, Berne translated these into the\u00a0Child, the\u00a0Adult, and the\u00a0Parent\u00a0which forms a key component in the approach of transactional analysis (TA). This article introduces TA, briefly, outlines evidence around TA in counselling and gives examples of the practical application of this potentially highly useful approach to counselling work.\u00a0Transactional Analysis in a Nutshell"}
