| | History of Eric Berne, Founder of Transactional Analysis |
 | | Eric Berne was born May 10, 1910 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as Leonard Bernstein, the son of David Hiller Bernstein, MD, a general practitioner, and Sarah Gordon Bernstein, a professional writer and editor. |
 | | Eric loved the pater familias role, relishing in his large group of offspring and tending to be, if anything, overly permissive, a nurturing parent more often than an authoritarian one. |
 | | For Eric the rejection was galvanizing, spurring him to intensify his long-standing ambition to add something new to psychoanalysis. |
