On Thursday, Oct. 1, the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA) and the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) will host a virtual event examining the intersection of culture, power, and mental health practice.
As outlined in a new brief by The Script Newsroom, the session will be led by Victoria Baskerville, a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (TSTA) and founder of the Transactional Analysis (TA) East London Institute. Her presentation, titled "A decolonising journey from the radical roots of TA to intersectional TA," will guide clinicians through deconstructing psychological theory and addressing structural inequalities long embedded in the field.
The primary objective of the webinar is to prompt attendees to interrogate their own roles within broader systems of oppression and evaluate how personal biases shape therapeutic work.

The workshop featured diverse faculty and participants from Hungary, Russia, India, Ukraine, Guatemala, the United States of America (USA), Croatia, Spain and the United Kingdom (UK).
Concluding her reflections on the three-day event, the article’s author proudly notes that this talented batch is now ready to sign a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (TSTA) contract.

“If trauma is a fracture of the bond, care must also pass through the reconstruction of the bond with oneself, with the other, and with the earth.” This profound observation lies at the heart of a new therapeutic method that integrates the natural environment into trauma recovery. When individuals experience severe psychological fragmentation, reestablishing a biological connection with the outdoors can help reactivate their sense of vital exploration.
In an insightful new article by Cinzia Chiesa, the author introduces Homo Humus, an innovative area of activity launched by the Center of Psychology and Transactional Analysis (CPAT) in Milan. She explains how the CPAT program utilizes an ecocentric perspective to transform post-traumatic care by blending clinical practice, neuroscience and ecopsychology. By treating the natural world as a relational partner rather than a mere backdrop, care professionals can guide patients toward profound neurophysiological regulation.
Drawing inspiration from real-world examples of ecological and personal regeneration, the piece illustrates how environmental restoration mirrors human healing. Recognizing our shared roots with the earth offers a powerful threshold for transforming deep wounds and generating life after a crisis.

“The International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) is delighted to announce that Joel Vos has been awarded the 2026 ITAA Research Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to transactional analysis (TA) research and its application in practice.” In a new article covering this professional milestone, author Moniek Thunnissen highlights how Vos has spent the past five years rigorously strengthening the scientific foundation of this mental health specialty.
According to Thunnissen, a significant portion of this recognition stems from Vos`s extensive collaboration with Biljana van Rijn, which culminated in the 2025 publication of “The Handbook of Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy: An Evidence-Based Approach.” Their landmark work establishes a stronger empirical basis for core concepts like ego states and existential positions, providing practitioners with a standardized treatment framework and a common language across different schools of TA.
The article’s author notes that this growing body of evidence, which includes a randomized controlled trial on brief TA psychotherapy for depression, will be celebrated when Vos officially receives his honor at the TA Research Conference in Rome in December 2026.
