Fields of TA Practice
TA Practitioners choose a field of specialisation. I am here using content from Susan Legender Clarke’s Dictionary of Transactional Analysis under listing: Fields of Transactional Analysis for the content that is provided here.
1. Counselling Field of Specialisation: This field is chosen by professionals who work in socio/psychological and cultural fields of practice. Practitioners in fields of social welfare, health care, pastoral work, prevention, mediation, process facilitation, multicultural work and humanitarian activities also choose this field.
Counselling is a professional activity within a contractual relationship. The counselling process enables clients or client systems to develop awareness, options and skills for problem management and personal development in daily life through the enhancement of their strengths, resources and functioning. Its aim is to increase autonomy in relation to their social, professional and cultural environment.
2. Education Field of Specialisation: This field is chosen by those who work in the area of learning and study in pre-school, school, university and post university contexts or for the support of child, adolescent and adult learners within the family, the institution or society.
The work may be applied to the development of teaching teams and institutions. The aim is to further personal and professional growth, both scholastic and social. The aim is to increase personal autonomy, to support people in developing their own personal and professional philosophies and to enable optimum psychological health and growth.
3. Organisation Field of Specialisation: This field is for practitioners who work in or for organisations, taking into account organisational frames of reference and contexts as well as the organisation’s development. Their work is aimed at development, growth and increased effectiveness of people working within organisations.
They present and use Concepts and ideas of TA Theory to under-grid the objectives of their clients.
4. Psychotherapy Field of Specialisation: This field is for practitioners who aim to facilitate their client’s capacity for self-actualisation, healing and change.
They use their expertise to enable their clients to recognise and change archaic, self-limiting patterns - to deal with pain of the past in the present so that they are to free to live their lives in the future. They work to get their clients to understand themselves and their relationships and create options to live their lives in an aware, creative, spontaneous way and open to intimacy.
