EdTA | Giles Barrow

Welcome

Colleagues! Welcome! This site is a comprehensive resource intended to support you in participating in the Educational Transactional Analysis (EdTA) programme. I hope you find the material easy to access, informative and enhances your experience of the on-line and in-person sessions.

It is important that before the first session you have take some time to review this introductory information. In the following clip I share the overall framework on which the programme is based and I will present the main themes, whichever configuration of days, on-line or in person sessions you are following.

In addition to the range of web-based material, I have also set up a shared drive with a series of my own papers published in the Transactional Analysis Journal. You may be asked to get permission from me, via a Google email alert so the access might not be immediate. The other key texts mentioned in the above clip are:

Educational Transactional Analysis, Giles Barrow & Trudi Newton
Into TA, William F. Cornell, Anne de Graaf, Trudi Newton & Moniek Thunnissen
tactics, Rosemary Napper & Trudi Newton

Although there is a wide range of material within this site, I have not replicated TA-specific content which can be found on my Introduction to TA site. You are likely to want to remind yourself of core TA models and I encourage you to re-visit them via the TA101 site (password: rosebud).

Suggested Activities

Before we meet for the start of the first module you will find it useful if you give time to explore the links featured in this section and viewed the introductory clip.

You will also find it helpful to set up your journal for the course. It would be worthwhile writing an opening entry describing your intentions for being part of the group programme. You might want to consider what this means in terms of what you are anticipating in terms of content, as well as how you want to be part of the group process. Here's a template to help journalling.

By all means have a general browse around the website. Make a note of any first impressions in terms of how the site works as well as what catches your attention.

Welcome
