This article reflects on the experience of establishing transactional analysis training in countries where it has not been developed before, including the prerequisites for such training. A typical history of starting transactional analysis training in a new area is offered, and some principles and frequent challenges are described as a reminder for visiting trainers. Questions are raised about how the expansion of transactional analysis affects its philosophy and theory as well as TA training and certification processes.
