Translator disclaimer

This article considers ways that transactional analysis theory and practice, including the therapeutic goal of cure, is consistent with recent discoveries in neuroscience. These discoveries include the plasticity and possible inborn ethical qualities of the human brain. The practice of transactional analysis is applicable not only to the cure of mental disorders but also to psychosomatic and somatopsychic disorders.
