Transactional analysis is becoming increasingly identified with the concept of the OKness of people. This essay offers a historical review of the OK concept and a suggestion for how it can be adopted as a banner for the transactional analysis world movement even though, in the writer's opinion, its modern version is far from what Berne had in mind when he postulated the OK/not-OK existential positions.
