Transactional Analysis and the Student Personnel Worker

Hickerson, J. Douglas

NASPA Journal, 10, 4, 307-309, Apr 73

This article cites reasons why Transactional Analysis (as described in Harris' book I'm Okay - You're Okay) is uniquely suited for group mental health counseling in student populations. Ideal in its emphasis on group counseling (the only kind practical for large student masses), its teaching-learning method, and its simplicity of language T.A. helps achieve: (1) the management of emotions, (2) autonomy, and (3) freedom in interpersonal relationships.
