The author provides a novel framework for exploring ways the international transactional analysis community can answer the call of Robert and Mary Goulding for a more just society. In answering that call, the point of view of social redecision therapy is introduced. With a social psychological perspective, a societal structural analysis is proposed as a foundation for identifying three degrees of impasses to social justice at the prescriptive, injunctive, and archaic levels. By identifying the parental, adult, and child parts of society at a collective level, the author explores ways of breaking through these impasses in three selected areas: gender, ethnicity/race, and sexual orientation. He proposes that transactional analysts can be social change agents by using their leadership skills and courage to help both formal and informal authority to better understand the obstacles to positive social change and how to break through them
