Translator disclaimer

TA is a primary theory of personality not a secondary theory capable of translating other primary theories. In support of this caveat, an example is given in which is described the systematic work of translating Berne's Trading Stamps into a set of existential emotions, using sets of concepts drawn from Freud and Berne as the tentative secondary theoretical concepts for the translation.
