This article provides an overview of the intention and design of the “Small Project,” a therapy evaluation study about transactional analysis in Germany. It describes combining transactional analysis theory with selected evaluation methods in order to evaluate the therapeutic process. The initial results of the study offer positive indications that transactional analysis is a powerful, useful method for helping people. Some ideas are suggested regarding the future of transactional analysis as a science.
