This keynote address, originally delivered on 8 August 2008 at the TA World Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, emphasizes how culture is acquired in three ways: formally, informally, and technically. Transactional analysis is examined as a unique culture that is in the process of continually changing. The author takes a historical perspective to describe how new theories and methods are integrated with core concepts to provide an ever more effective psychotherapy.
