About TIATA - TIATA

TIATA is an established association which aims to represent the worldwide TA community in Ireland.

Our vision, objectives and priorities are:

To increase the general awareness of and interest in TA.

Our values are in accordance with the philosophical assumptions of TA, which are:

Everyone is OK – TIATA holds to this philosophical assumption which means that every Human is created equally and has inherent worth, value and dignity to be respected and to underpin all relationships and interactions.
Everyone has the capacity to think for themselves – All Humans have the ability to grow through their experience and learn to problem solve situations to enhance their own life and the lives of others.
Everyone can make decisions, and these decisions can be changed – All Humans can make choices that can enhance their lives and the lives and wellbeing of others and education and self-awareness increases the ability to make these choices wisely. TA is a framework to enhance these decisions.

Publications, multimedia, conferences, courses and other training events and the dissemination of information and advertising
To maintain and develop co-operation with other national and international professional bodies to further Transactional Analysis
To apply for, seek, obtain and accept grants and to raise funds and seek financial assistance to provide provision enough to promote Transactional Analysis effectively in all parts of the Island of Ireland.
