New Zealand's only Professor of Psychotherapy Keith Tudor has recently received the prestigious international Eric Berne Memorial Award for his work in the field of Transactional Analysis.
It's a theory which examines the three ego states we adopt in relating to each other: parent, adult or child, to better understand ourselves by analyzing our transactions with the people closest to us.
Keith is based at the Auckland University of Technology, where, he tells Kathryn Ryan, he's been developing the idea of 'co-creative' Transactional Analysis, which includes an examination of how we might strengthen and even repair personal and working relationships, especially during current times of stress and uncertainty.
