3 - Definition of TA
Transactional analysis gets its name from defining the basic relational unit as a transaction, the unit of social relations, in which a communicating sender (Agent) and a communicating responder (Respondent) are transacting and reconciling transactions: I do something to you, the Agent, and you do something back, the Respondent - this being a transaction. So, the method of systematizing information coming from these reconciliations by means of words that have the same meaning for all those who use them is called transactional analysis.
