Eric Berne wrote the Structure and Dynamic of Organisations and Groups (1963) which provides some core specialist concepts which have since been extended and added to by others. This 120 hour programme for people with a minimum of 100 hours of TA learning begins each February on a Friday 1.30 – 7.30 plus Saturday 9 – 5 monthly on ten occasions.
The fields of education and organisation are brought together as educators usually work in or with organisations, and organisational consultants often use interventions which are educational such as coaching and management development.
This programme investigates the different aspects of contracting with an organisation and with individuals and groups, as well as reviewing specialist TA concepts around organisations (including learning environments) such as power, leadership and culture; types of interventions; and the processes of learning. The programme also provides opportunity to review other theories from a TA perspective.
Large group supervision is included and is especially useful for gaining insight into what is going on in a group or organisation. This part of the programme provides participants to bring live examples of their application of TA, and an opportunity to rehearse or experiment with their work.
This programme is ideal for psychotherapists and counsellors who intend to extend their practice and want a firm professional basis and greater insight when their clients present work-based issues. It is enriching for consultants, managers, trainers and coaches who wish to use TA to consider their clients and their interventions. Participants need to belong to a TA organisation and are encouraged to be in TA therapy or coaching. Visiting trainers, mostly from mainland Europe, contribute on some Saturdays and there is opportunity to provide them with a critique of their training.
The co-created constructs underpinning this programme mean that we continuously examine ourselves as an organisation and learning group. This provides an opportunity for live application of our learning — and practice at making appropriate interventions — to develop and maintain a healthy-enough learning organisation.
You work as a trainer, coach, consultant, mentor, facilitator, tutor, manager, or in some other organisational or educational role. You have a solid knowledge of the TA concepts considered in the TA 101, gained through a minimum of 100 hours TA learning in any field. You can usually recognise when you cathect your Adult ego state. Maximum ten participants.
