Abstract
Mindfulness involves nonjudgmental, accepting awareness of what is going on in the present moment. In this article, the authors describe their integration of mindfulness and transactional analysis theory into mindfulness-based transactional analysis (MBTA). MBTA is a 8-week psychoeducational program that invites participants to become fully present in everyday life. It focuses on developing the capacity of mindfulness and using it in dealing with Child and Parent ego states, script patterns, unpleasant emotions, and uncomfortable transactions. MBTA offers benefits to psychotherapists as well because it develops their capacity to be fully present in psychotherapy.
