Introduction to Redecision Therapy


About the Course

Redecision therapy is a powerful, in-depth, short-term treatment approach that works experientially with the emotional brain to produce lasting change. It was developed by Robert Goulding, M.D., a psychiatrist, and Mary Goulding, M.S.W., a Social Worker who were Teachers and Supervisors in the International Transactional Analysis Association and trained with both Eric Berne, M.D. and Fritz Perls, M.D. Redecision therapy combines the clear cognitive framework of Transactional Analysis with the powerful experiential techniques of Gestalt therapy. Vann will teach the basics of this approach and demonstrate it, as well as provide opportunities for participants to practise it with one another. Redecision therapy elicits the power and autonomy of the client and facilitates change in a fun and exciting way. Join this workshop to experience the effectiveness of this approach.

Our Core Philosophy


At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA training with widely differing experiences of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. Our courses therefore honour the uniqueness of each individual’s learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.

The philosophy and practice of Homonomy that respects our mutuality and interconnectedness has been recently integrated into the Berne Institute philosophy. The aim is to expand the focus in our theory and practice from individual change to include a focus on the wider implications of our work on the whole community and our planet.
