The submission window for the upcoming March edition of The Script is rapidly closing, with the final deadline set for February 28. Contributors are reminded that there is exclusively one channel for submissions: all materials must be directed to editorial@thescript.digital. This centralized protocol has been the standard since last year to ensure efficient processing of all articles.
When submitting, authors must ensure that any accompanying imagery is attached as standalone files within the same email, rather than embedded directly into the text document. It is also crucial for contributors to maintain active correspondence; the editorial process is interactive, and authors should monitor their inboxes closely until they see their work published.
The editorial team has expressed immense gratitude for the surge in contributions, noting the international community`s strong desire to participate in this vital publication. Following the release of the recent "collector`s item" edition, expectations for the March issue are high, making strict adherence to the deadline essential.

“The river never ceases in its flow — yet not a single drop remains the same.” In the new article by Keiko Hoshino, this ancient Japanese reflection serves as a powerful metaphor for the interplay of continuity and change. The piece explores how, as professionals, we must embrace evolution to protect the enduring values at the heart of our work.
According to the author, this concept is vital for practitioners of Transactional Analysis (TA). The article delves into the ethical responsibility of planning for the future, highlighting the updates to the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) Ethics Manual and introducing the idea of a “Professional Will” to ensure continuity of care.
The article’s author states that creating a Professional Will is more than an administrative task; it is an expression of Respect and Protection. Hoshino’s work ultimately asks us to reflect on a critical question: How will you change so that what matters most can continue to thrive?

In a recent article by Marina Rajan Joseph, she details the success of the International Board of Certification’s (IBOC) second online Training Endorsement Workshop (TEW) of 2025. Held from Nov. 28-30, the event gathered 16 participants and three translators from India, Russia, the United Kingdom, Croatia and Kenya for an enriching experience.
Following the event, 16 individuals are now prepared to sign a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (TSTA) contract. This will enable them to train and supervise future generations of learners in the theory and practice of Transactional Analysis (TA), strengthening our global community of practitioners.
In response to a growing number of Certified Transactional Analysts (CTA) on waiting lists, the IBOC has scheduled an additional TEW for July 2026. With three more workshops planned for the upcoming year, we hope to advance the mission of our organization with a brilliant array of vibrant TA trainers and supervisors.

Most definitions of the “inner child” describe parts of the self that hold emotions but exclude the physical dimension. Author Pamela Levin writes that this is a crucial omission, as childhood is when the body develops the complex interplay of systems that sustain life.
These early experiences create a collection of operating instructions that govern automatic functions. When established under adverse circumstances, these internalized scripts can misdirect the body’s innate intelligence and contribute to conditions ranging from migraines to autoimmune issues.
Levin posits that this “soft wiring” remains malleable. By healing the inner child, individuals can rewrite the bodily instructions that cause health challenges, allowing Transactional Analysis to address physical symptoms alongside emotional changes.

To qualify, applicants must strictly adhere to the association’s election protocols. This includes signing the "Rules for Candidates Seeking Election," a mandatory document available via the ITAA website.
Candidates are required to submit a digital photograph and a written statement of no more than 250 words outlining their vision and qualifications. These materials must be sent directly to the Nominations Committee Chair, Rema Giridhar, at general-secretary@itaaworld.com before the deadline.

Today, the 14th, marks the official launch of the new digital platform model for The Script. This transition represents a fundamental shift in how the publication is consumed, moving away from static PDF files to a fully fluid and responsive environment. Designed to offer an optimal reading experience on any device, the new interface prioritizes accessibility, featuring specialized reading modes and adjustments for text size and color to meet diverse user needs.
Beyond mere aesthetics, this launch signifies the beginning of a "platformization" strategy that will fully mature by January 2026. The new model transforms the reader from a passive recipient into an active participant within a living ecosystem. By leveraging technical requirements for Large Language Models (LLMs) and search engines, the platform ensures that high-quality, human-centered information reaches the right audience effectively.
This evolution brings significant editorial innovations, including the introduction of journalistic-style auxiliary headlines for clarity and the removal of space limitations for imagery. Readers can now engage with full-screen photo galleries and professional AI-generated illustrations. To experience this new era of knowledge administration and explore the enhanced features firsthand, readers are invited to visit the link here or in our bio: https://platform.itaaworld.com/the-script
