n 2011, as a result of my person-al interest and together with
Isabelle Taquin, TSTA (P) from Bel-gium, we started a transactional analy-sis journey in Bulgaria. I invited her tolead a TA 101 in Sofia to gauge interestamong Bulgarians in TA. We had noexpectations, especially given that themost popular therapeutic modalities inBulgaria at that time were psycho-analysis, the Lacanian school, the Jun-gian school, neo-Reichian therapy, pos-itive psychotherapy, psychodrama, andcognitive and behavioral psychothera-py. But the Bulgarian psychologicalcommunity washungry for thenew and curiousand motivated tolearn. It was aspring day hon-oring Slavonic lit-eracy and culturewhen Isabellebegan the firstTA 101, a daycommitted toeducation, train-ing, and culture.Thirty peoplecame to theevent and werethe first to showinterest in certi-fied training intransactional

After another three TA 101 courses weregiven, we understood that our adven-ture was turning into a serious project.People wanted to continue their train-ing. TA’s accessibility combined with itsthoroughness, as well as Isabelle’s skillin working with the process, attractedmany. She soon invited two colleaguesfrom Belgium—Béatrice Godlewicz

(PTSTA-C) and Françoise Platiau(PTSTA-P)—and the four of usformed the main team for the trans-actional analysis trainings.
By 2013, two TA groups had startedtheir long-term training, and wedecided to establish the BulgarianAssociation of Transactional Analy-sis (BATA), the purpose of which isto set professional standards and tocooperate for the popularization ofTA in Bulgaria. In 2014, BATA wasthe host of the European Associa-tion for Transactional Analysis(EATA) Outreach Program in Sofia.The successful event drew about 60participants and included a seminarby then EATA President MarcoMazzetti on “Transactional Analy-sis: From Our Roots to Relational
Dynamics” and another by EATAVice President Sylvie Monin on “TheScript: A Resource Rather Than aPathology.”
In 2015 BATA joined EATA. We arenow applying for membership in theBulgarian Association for Psycho-therapy, which is a member of the

“We understood that our adventure
in TA was turning into a serious
project. People wanted to continue
their training. TA’s accessibility
combined with its thoroughness, as
well as Isabelle’s skill in working with
the process, attracted many.”
In her introduc-tion to the Bul-garian edition,Isabelle wroteabout how, withthis book, read-ers would have achance to learnthe original ther-apy and thebasic conceptsdeveloped byEric Berne andothers as well asthe newestdevelopments inthe field. It canbe the guide-book for all pro-fessionals and
trainees on their way to becomingtransactional analysts.
Another favorable circumstance fos-tered the publication of Brécard andHawkes’s book: Jean-MarieFrançois, the husband of the trans-lator for our trainings, has a publish-ing house in Bulgaria called Publish-ing House ARS Sofia (http://ars-sofia.net/). This family company wasestablished in 2000 and specializesin notes, fiction, psychological litera-ture, and philosophical literature.The translator of the book, MarinaStoycheva-François, has perfectFrench and is also a psychologygraduate. Hence, our team wasformed: Isabelle Taquin, the scientif-ic consultant; Marina Stoycheva-François, the translator; and me,Elena Nikolova, as organizer and apracticing transactional analysis edi-tor. The book was published in June2015 to positive, enthusiasticreviews and reactions.
Currently, my school for psychologi-cal consultation and training, Meta-morphozia, which is the organizer ofthe transactional analysis trainingsin Bulgaria, is preparing a new long-
practitioners. An increasing numberof people in Bulgaria are interestedin TA and considering certification.
Until recently, only three books ontransactional analysis had beentranslated into Bulgarian: I’m OK–You’re OK by Thomas Harris andGames People Play and A Layman’sGuide to Psychiatry and Psychoanalysisby Eric Berne. The paucity of TA liter-ature in Bulgarian was a serious dis-advantage for both trainees andpractitioners, so we decided totranslate Le grand livre de l’analysetransactionnelle [The Big Book ofTransactional Analysis] by FranceBrécard and Laurie Hawkes. Wechose it because Isabelle Taquin saidit was accessible and covered all TAconcepts. She used it in her training,so we could see that the examples init had been taken from practice andlife, which was important for us. Atthat time, we needed a textbook, amanual with simple phrases andexercises that would be of practicaluse and yet also present TA’s depth.

Onemore long-term training group is inthe third year of training conductedby Béatrice Godlewicz (PTSTA-C) andFrançoise Platiau (PTSTA-P). Plans forthe next couple of years include long-term courses, several TA 101 courses,and workshops with lecturers fromBelgium, Slovenia, Sweden, and Hol-land. I hope that one day we will havethe privilege of welcoming France Bré-card and Laurie Hawkes, the authorsof Le grand livre de l’analyse transac-tionnelle, to Bulgaria.
At this point, over 170 people fromBulgaria have passed the TA 101.Having Le grand livre de l’analysetransactionnelle in Bulgarian will helpincrease that number as well as be oftremendous value to those whoalready practice TA and their clients.We are all grateful to have the trans-lation so that we can become betterat understanding and practicingtransactional analysis.

r. Hank Nunn passed awaypeacefully on 31 July 2016.He was for 35 years the
director of Athma Shakthi Vidyalaya(ASV), a unique therapeutic com-munity in Bangalore, India. Afterbeing ordained as a priest in August1951, he served as principal of aschool in Darjeeling for many years.He then traveled to his homeland,Canada, where he trained as acounselor.
After returning to India, he studied intransactional analysis with Carlosand Saroj Welch in Vellore. It wasthen that he met Jacqui Schiff,founder of the Cathexis School oftransactional analysis and a pioneerin working with people with schizo-phrenia. Fr. Nunn lived and workedas a counselor in Ashirvad, Banga-lore, and one of his clients was ayoung schizophrenic. After dis-cussing that case with Jacqui, Fr.Nunn ended up joining her as shebegan ASV in August 1979, the firstsuch therapeutic community in Ban-galore. He later trained further inreparenting in California, and in 1985he took over as director of ASV whenJacqui returned to the United States.

Fanita English celebrated her100th birthday on 22 October2016 with a small but splen-did party organized by herdaughter, Deirdre English.About 30 family members andfriends—some from as faraway as Italy, Germany, Texas,New York, and Arizona—gathered to honor Fanita ather apartment complex. They
enjoyed her introductory comments and then, over a lovely dinner, shareddelightful, touching, funny Fanita stories. A message from ITAA PresidentSuriyaprakash was read out, and later Fanita opened a card thatannounced a donation from ITAA in her name to the International RescueCommunity. After dinner Fanita was presented with a large chocolate caketopped with a full complement of 100 candles, which she blew out withsome help from a hair dryer wielded by Deirdre. We are thrilled to congrat-ulate Fanita on this milestone in her extraordinary life and hope that oth-ers will add their good wishes by calling her at 650-685-8418. (Our thanksto Ravi Sethi and Fanita’s great niece Sasha Taskier for sharing their pho-tos. Thanks also to Mel Van Dusen for his video from the party: see here.)

Every September in France, the entire country is occupied with “la rentrée,” that is, going back to school. The Ecole d’Analyse
Transactionnelle de Paris-Ile de France (EAT) [the Paris TA School] upholds this tradition by inaugurating the post-foundation training
with a residential Séminaire d’Exploration des Motivations [Seminar for Exploring Motivations]. During this event, participants delve
into their plans to become transactional analysis psychotherapists. This year, they had this wonderful photograph taken by one of the
group members, Benoît Foujols, who is a professional photographer (he is in the back row, eighth from the right).
creative approach used group activi-ties and individual assignments tocontribute to increased self-aware-ness, the ability to cooperate, and theautonomy of the students.
As is usual with a TAPA scheme, thepupils produced portfolios of evidenceof what they had learned and howthey had applied it in their lives.These were assessed by GisèleSarolea, an advanced TA student whovolunteered for this and had supervi-sion from Julie Hay, TSTA (OPE), whoproject manages the scheme interna-tionally on behalf of the Institute ofDevelopmental TA. Julie makes surethat standards are consistent acrossdifferent countries. Another volunteerwas Alice Timmermans, an advancedTA student who also has much experi-ence within the educational system inthe Netherlands and who served asthe ambassador and handed out the
badges and certificates at the awardceremony.

tA Around the World
n 5 November 2016, around 100 TA profession-
als celebrated 40 years of TA train-ing in the Dutch-speaking world.They met on the campus of theDutch TA Academy, and it was anevent to remember. Anne de Graafand Moniek Thunnissen were hon-ored for their work on the new bookthey helped to edit (with Bill Cornelland Trudi Newton): Into TA: A Com-prehensive Textbook on TransactionalAnalysis. Both became honorarymembers of the Dutch TA Associa-tion. Trudi Newton and Giles Barrowdelivered an inspiring keynote, andMil Rosseau took participants on asentimental journey. To conclude theday, everyone present worked in aso-called open space event on ideasfor future TA training.
It was in November 1976 that threenewly educated transactionalanalysis professionals started thefirst TA training course in theNetherlands. Maarten Kouwen-hoven, Marijke Arendsen Hein, andGerrit Roosjen designed and gavethe first TA training on the premisesof a Dutch mental health clinic, thencalled De Strook. From the start,they joined with Raymond Hostie,who, together with Michael Reddy,
and Holland joined forces to publisha TA magazine called De Strook. Theyregularly invited various well-knownTA luminaries to do training andworkshops, including members ofthe Schiff family, Bob and MaryGoulding, George Thomson, RichardErskine, Marge Reddington, GeorgeKohlrieser, and Ellyn Bader.
The teams of ANITA and VITA wereeager and had loads of energy.ANITA started the Dutch TA Associ-
introduced TA in Europe. Raymondwas the founding father for TA inFlanders, the Dutch-speaking partof Belgium. The first Dutch TA train-ers called their training instituteAlgemeen Nederlands Instituutvoor Transactionele Analyse(ANITA). In Belgium RaymondHostie started Vlaams Instituutvoor TA (VITA).
Together, they cocreated a Dutch-speaking TA community. Flanders

ation, NVTA. Together NVTA andVITA stood at the cradle of theEuropean Association for Transac-tional Analysis (EATA). Over theyears, new trainers joined, inspiringhundreds of students with their pro-found knowledge of and experiencewith TA. Three fist-sized books,called “TA in Nederland 1, 2 and 3”were edited by Maarten Kouwen-hoven. Every year the ANITA teamstarted a new group of about 16students. These first decades werefruitful years.
During the initial 2 decades, VITAorganized five successful confer-ences as well as multiple workshopsand learning therapy groups. Ithosted a dedicated group of nine TApsychiatrists who called themselvesTAPers (TA Psychiatrists). Acrossthe country borders, Ger Heesterand Mil Rosseau started the firstinternational Special Fields-onlytraining groups. Piet Weisfelt, one oftheir students, became another TAtraining powerhouse.
Indeed, especially in the Nether-
oped ANITA into the TA Academie.On its beautiful campus, in the cen-ter of the Netherlands, 16 TA train-ers welcome around 500 studentseach year. Furthermore, based onthe foundation built by MaartenKouwenhoven, Marijke ArendsenHein, and Gerrit Roosjen, 14 morebranches of TA training institutesstarted their activities in the Nether-lands and Flanders.
Little by little, TA lost momentum inFlanders. Linda Hoeben and, morerecently, Mil Rosseau have each puttheir shoulders under a new start.Both have confidence in the future ofTA.

itAA news
by A. Geethan
As the year comes to an end, Iwould like to share with ITAA mem-bers a little about the financial pic-ture of the ITAA.
In 2016 we did not have an ITAAconference and hence no incomethrough that channel. Many changeinitiatives within the associationrequired legal consultation, anexpense that was not foreseenwhen we established the 2016budget. Those two factors mayresult in a financial loss for ITAAthis year. In addition, full ITAAmembership appears to be fixed ataround 800 members, thoughintroducing student membershiphas brought in an additional 160members, which was good newsboth for students and the associa-tion. In the future, ITAA partnershipwith other TA associations may addvalue to the ITAA as well as theother associations and facilitatemembership growth.
I am in the process of forming afinancial committee and would liketo hear from any member who isinterested in being a part of that.We are looking for individuals whoare willing to spend 4-5 hours amonth on committee business. Thefinancial committee will work toanalyze ITAA’s capital investmentsand the patterns of how its money iscurrently handled as well as possi-bilities for creating new patternsthat will benefit the ITAA.
The supervision exchange projectestablished in 2015 to raise funds
for the ITAA has brought in incomeof USD 500 so far. This stream ofincome, though small, is new, andwe expect that it will continue toexpand in coming years. I thank theproject coordinator for the supervi-sion exchange project, DeepakDhananjaya, and his team for theirefforts to make the project a success.
I also want to thank membershipcommittee chair Karen Pratt and herteam for their efforts to sustain andgrow ITAA’s membership.
My term as a treasurer is nearingcompletion, so I am planning towrite a standard operating proce-dure (SOP) to help the new treasur-er to understand his or her role andthe role of the CFO.
