Ales Zivkovic, MSc, PTSTA(P), CTA(P) will be holding a keynote talk at the annual conference of the Ukrainian Association for Transactional Analysis (UATA).

The talk will focus on the modern perspectives on the concept of OK-ness in Transactional Analysis (TA), looking at Berne’s beginnings in conceptualising OK-ness and contrasting those with some of the directions that other theorists took. We will also look at how our collective understanding of the concept has changed through time and how it fits in with other psychotherapeutic theories and concepts in the present day.

Ales will also present some of the questions we may be asking ourselves as TA community from the perspective of Berne’s own potential script contributions to foundations and evolution of TA and how this can be explained through OK-ness. 

The talk will take place online on 7 November 2021 at 4:30pm EET. It will be supported by Russian translation.
