History of transactional analysis• Dr.Eric Berne is the pioneer of transactional analysis• Origin of TA concept happened in 1951 when Dr. wilder
Penfield,(neurosurgeon from McGill university)experimenting on the brain of middle aged patient.
• As the electrode touched a particular spot in the brain. the patient will explain the history of his life.
• Dr.wilder Penfield concluded that all our experience associated with event get locked in our memory & brain act as tape recorder.
• During the development Dr.Berne observed that people changes in movements ,gesture ,facial expression ,posture, communication pattern ,appearance , tone of voice etc . as they move through the life.
• He discovered that there are three ego state in the structure of human personality parent state(P),adult state(A),child state( C)

Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis
•Transactional analysis provides better understanding of how people related to each other
•It helps in establishing better communication & improved human relationship
•Its useful tool for helping people to understand & improve their interaction in their professional as well as personal lives.
•Individual can decide how any transaction should develop
11
Types of TransactionsThe three types of transactions
1. Complementary2. Crossed3. Ulterior
1.Complementary Transactions:• Appropriate and Expected Transactions indicating
healthy human relationships.• Communication takes place when transactions are
complementary. A stimulus invites a response; this response becomes a stimulus inviting further response and so on.
• In this type of transaction stimulus & response line are parallel
12
Complementary Transactions

2.Crossed transaction A leader in the adult ego state deals with A subordinate who responds from their free child
ego state with somewhat negative, rejecting input from the leader
• A crossed transaction occurs when a massage sent from a specific ego state of one person receive an unexpected response from the other person some other ego state
• Crossed transaction are the cause of many interpersonal conflicts & person might get upset & frustrated .

Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis
For a leader-follower, there are a number of possible crossed transactions:
3.Ulterior Transaction
• This communication has double meaning .at the surface level there is a clear adult message .whereas, there is hidden message on psychological level.
• In this transaction sender tries to shows that he is speaking from a specific ego state but actually he is secretly using another ego state to send hidden massage to the receiver
• It involves two ego state on the sender side where one is hidden & another is visible.
• Here person say something from adult ego state but he means something from parent ego state.
• Ex.– boss to his employees :-if you want growth & promotion in the job then
you should always put extra efforts in your work. internal massage that he wants his employees to work after office house hours also & do not ask for the leaves

Johari windows• It is developed by American psychologists Joseph Luft & harry
Ingham in 1955.• Name of this windows based on Joseph Luft & Harry• this window helps an individual to know his values & beliefs
& to understand himself in better way.• Popular model to analyze the cause of interpersonal conflicts
& increase mutual understanding within the orgenisation .• According to Joseph & harry the more we share ourselves
with other, the more we can expand our interpersonal relationship.
• This model used for to asses & improve a groups relationship with other groups.
• Assumptions1. The level to which an individual know himself2. The level to which an individual is known to others

Johari windows
Johari windows consist of four parts 1. Open area:
– Johari region 1 is known as the ‘area of free activity’ – It consist information about you , your values & beliefs & your
experience which are known to people around you– Here friendship & mutual understanding amongst people
grow & is highest in this area by sharing information with other people they come closer to you
– Helps in reducing conflicts to almost zero percent
2. Blind area– The things about an individual that are known to others but
not to self– Blind area reduces when other those who are observing you
tells you about this habit.– Blind reduces as you start understanding yourself ,your
positive & negative points ,your strengths & weakness etc.– Reduce of this area from personality of an individuals the
chances of inter-personal conflicts also reduces.
20
3. Hidden area– It consist things about an individual that are known to self
but are hidden from the people in the surroundings– People keep some secrets about themselves like some
incidences ,experience ,their like & dislike etc because they are scared that if their friends or family come to know about these details then they might make fun of him .
– This area leads to inter-personal conflict. this area can be reduced if you reduce the number of secret & try too open up.
4. Unknown area– It include values ,beliefs & the things about you which are
not known to you & others.– This is most volatile area – Here the person doesn’t know about himself because of
lack of experience & it is not known to other because it is part of personality.
– Highly interpersonal conflict– This area can be reduced by exchanging thoughts ,sharing
experience
21
Johari window is a tool to conflict resolution• Johari model is referred as a ‘disclosure/feedback model of
self awareness’• Johari windows represent information – feelings, experience ,
views, attitude ,skills ,intention ,motivation etc, within or about a person in relations to their group.
22
information known to everyone share Feedback
knowledge belongs only to others
knowledge belongs only to self
knowledge acquired by learning together
What we know & what they know
What we know & they do not know
What they know & we not know
What we know & what they do not know
• Interpersonal conflicts arises due to cross cultural barriers like
1. Difference among perception 2. By tone difference 3. Caused by semantics4. Caused by word imply different thing in different language.
• Conflicts can reduced by• By increasing open area in johari windows ; by sharing more
information with others • We must sensitive of other feelings . while interacting with
other correct word must chosen.• Johari window helps in establishing communication & the way
of talking with others 23
• Self Disclosure-How to increase open area in johari windows– The process of enlarging the open quadrant vertically is called self
disclosure– as information shared ,the boundary with hidden quadrant moves
downwards & as other people – Feedback develops the open area by reducing the blind area – The unknown area can be reduced in different ways ;by other
observation (which increase the blind area) by self discovery (which increase the hidden area)
– New team members start with relatively small open areas because relatively little knowledge about the new team member is shared .
– Open area expanded horizontally into the blind space ,by seeking & actively listening feedback from others known as ‘Feedback solicitation’
– Group member also help a person expand their open area by asking the person about him/herself
– Manager also give direct feedback about their blind areas– Discovery through sensitive communication ,active listening & experience
will reduce the unknown area 24

Stroking • A stroke is a unit of recognition which may be positive or
negative.• A stroke is defined as any act implying recognition of another
presence.• The stroking is positive or negative or combination of both• If we feel good it is positive stroke & reverse is negative
stroke.• Example of positive & negative combination stroke is
supervisor comment to a workers act “you did excellent inspite of your small amount of experience in the field ”
• To improve relationship with other people TA teaches two things1. You can seek out ways to give more positive stroke so others know
how we feel about them as people2. We can listen carefully to the stroke others give us
28
Benefits Of TA• Provide fresh insight into the psychological make-up of the
individual concerned • Inter-personal communication is improved • Inter-personal relation are improved• Helps to develop leadership skills among the people
• Limitation of TA• Difficult to understand ego state & transaction between
people in practice• Some people use this tool to manipulate the behaviour of
other.• TA tends to encourage “amateur psychologising” if applied
