This article describes a cross-discipline college course taught by two teachers: a professor in psychology, who taught the transactional analysis component, and a professor of communications. The course was offered to college students regardless of whether they had any previous course work in psychology. The method of delivery was lecture, web-sourced text and tasks, group activities, and videotaping with class analysis. The students reported that topics related to game theory, strokes, and life position were the most useful to them, while script theory was the least useful. Overall, the students rated the course as very useful.
