 Key Ideas in Transactional Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Eric Berne made complex interpersonal transactions understandable when he recognized that the human personality is made up of three "ego states"; each of which is an entire system of thought, feeling, and behavior from which we interact with each other.
Berne defined certain socially dysfunctional behavioral patterns as "games." These repetitive, devious transactions are intended to obtain strokes but instead they reinforce negative feelings and self-concepts, and mask the direct expression of thoughts and emotions.
Eric Berne proposed that dysfunctional behavior is the result of self-limiting decisions made in childhood in the interest of survival.

 A Social Interaction Design (SxD) blog on Web 2.0 & Social Media: Eric Berne's Games People Play and social media
Eric Berne's Games People Play, popular during its time but no less fascinating and perhaps even relevant to a theory of mediated interaction, is a wonderful reading of the transactions of emotional "strokes" among people interacting with one another.
For Berne, human interaction is always engaged in this fundamental exchange (his theory is exchangist, I think), one that seems to have an effect on the body and on personal well-being as well as having its obvious effect on emotional and psychological dispositions.
Eric Berne's work on transactional analysis has long fascinated me for its insights into a dimension of interaction that involves basic emotional acknowledgment and recognition: a dimension that would seem diminished by the online interactions and communication that occur without face to face transactions, but which might nonetheless motivate our interactions nonetheless.

 What Do You Say After You Say Hello? by Eric Berne
Eric Berne was a psychoanalyst who became well known in the 1970s for his system of "transactional analysis", the transactions in question being mostly those between a young child and its parents.
Berne's bad luck was that he wrote the book in 1970 when psychology was going through a bad patch with a flood of bizarre systems appearing.
It's good to see that Berne arrives at his system empirically with his basic framework being bolstered with all the evidence he can find.

Eric Berne, Arzt und Psychiater, gab nach einer fünfzehn Jahre währenden Ausbildung den Versuch auf, den Titel eines Psychoanalytikers anerkannt zu bekommen.
In der Folge nutzte Berne das ego image in seiner therapeutischen Praxis und konnte feststellen, dass er mit seinen unmittelbaren Erkenntnissen (seinen Intuitionen) zu den Gefühlen und Erfahrungen seiner Patienten eine viel wirksamere und hilfreichere Beziehung aufbauen konnte, als durch diagnostische Begriffe, wie er es als Psychiater bislang gewohnt war.

Berne, schepper van de transactionele analyse (T.A.) beschrijft zowel het natuurlijke als het aangepaste kind.
In de mate dat iemand zich vereenzelvigd heeft met zijn ego (zijn conceptueel-dialogische zelf) zal hij 'script-gebonden' of geprogrammeerd zijn door geïnternaliseerde richtlijnen.
Het is de verdienste van Berne dat hij heeft laten zien hoe vrijwel elk aspect van de ego-toestanden gezien kan worden als een 'interne dialoog' - syntactische reeksen van auditieve tekens, met bijhorende gevoelens en beelden.

 Transactional analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transactional analysis, commonly known as TA to its adherents, is a psychoanalytic theory of psychology developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne during the late 1950s.
Berne thought that virtually everyone has something problematic about their ego states and that negative behaviour would not be addressed by 'treating' only the problematic individual.
Berne's ability to express the ideas of TA in common language and his popularisation of the concepts in mass-market books inspired a boom of 'popular' TA texts, some of which simplify TA concepts to a deleterious degree.

 Transactional Analysis
Eric Berne designed Transactional Analysis as a system that seeks to understand the interactions of people and to improve the human social environment.
Almost fifty years after Transactional Analysis' inception and thirty years after Eric Berne's untimely death it has become a movement with thousands of members all around the world and is poised to enter the third millenium as a highly effective, information based psychology and psychiatry of human communication.
Each one of the ego states in is effect a "mind module," a system of communication with its own language and function; the Parent's is a language of values, the Adult's is a language of logic and rationality and the Child's is a language of emotions.

Some people review their stamp collections nightly, before sleep, while, with others, it is less frequent, only when bored, or when they need a big justification to crap out on themselves or on others.
Since they are somewhat loathe to discard a stamp altogether, Berne says that they solve the problem resourcefully by "spewing some feces" over the uncomfortable gold stamp and thereby create a passable imitation of an unpleasant brown one which they can now properly admire and add to their collection
