About us
Our Philosophy and Strategy for Training
The structure of the training programme at The Berne Institute is distinctly different from that at the typical university or college, and different also from the training structures of most other Transactional Analysis training institutes.
Our Rationale
We see TA training in Psychotherapy, Educational and Organisational fields as a structure setting in which one person – the client – pursues outcomes in the areas of personal change, growth or insight, with the help and facilitation of another person, the therapist. The central objective of our training, therefore, is to facilitate the trainee therapist to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experience that will allow her/him to invite personal change in others ethically, competently and elegantly.
Our Educational philosophy
The aim of The Berne Institute is to promote excellence in the fields of TA Psychotherapy, TA Educational, TA Organsiational, counselling, training, supervision, and related research. The core model we use is Transactional Analysis (TA) and relate it to other humanistic approaches.
Our Strategy for Teaching and Learning
In the service of this educational philosophy, we have developed a strategy for teaching and learning that is founded on three distinctive and interlinked principles. They are:
- Use of an organic model of personal learning
- Multi-level structure of training groups
- Four-year topic rotation.
