Cross-cultural transactional analysis

Abstract

For the last few issues of Educationa Transactional Analysis journal, we have been focused on reviewing articles published in Transactional Analysis Journal (hence the previous title of the feature “Reading TAJ”). However, we have decided to go beyond this formula, showing the achievements of other local scientific journals dedicated to TA. Although it goes without saying that the quarterly magazine TAJ, released in English since 1971 under the auspices of the ITAA (International Transactional Analysis  Association), belongs to the most well-known and renowned journals, it seems that other magazines dedicated to the same theme are also worth our attention. Let us add that Polish authors from the Educational Transactional Analysis Research Team have also published their articles there.

From this issue on, we shall review other interesting publications from annual, semi-annual, quarterly journals issued in other countries, on other continents or geographical zones. One of them is SAJTA - South Asian Journal of Transactional Analysis (formerly known as SAATA Journal). It is a reviewed scientific journal focusing on theory, rules and applications of transactional analysis in four domains of psychotherapy, counselling, education and organization’s development. Its aim is to invite researchers, trainers and practitioners of transactional analysis from the region of southern Asia to share their experiences, applications and various innovations. The pages of this e-journal, issued from 2015 to 2019, hosted several interesting articles worth our attention, which, as we think, might also interest our readers.
