2025 World TA Conference

Exploring legacy, legitimacy and identity

Transactional Analysis in a changing world

8–10 August, 2025

Le Corum, Montpellier, France

 

In an ever-evolving world, the concepts of legacy, legitimacy, and identity hold immense significance in shaping our individual and collective experiences. As we gather for the next World Transactional Analysis Conference, we delve into these profound themes to unravel their impact on personal development, relationships, and societal transformations.

 

Legacy goes beyond the material possessions we leave behind. It encompasses the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual imprints we make on the world. How does transactional analysis contribute to understanding the transmission of values, behaviors, emotions, and narratives from one generation to the next? How can we work with clients to empower them to create intentional legacies that align with their authentic selves? How do we respect and transcend the legacy left to us by Eric Berne and the first generation of transactional analysts?

 

The perception of legitimacy influences our decisions, interactions, and self-worth. Exploring legitimacy within the context of transactional analysis involves examining societal norms, cultural influences, and personal narratives that shape our sense of belonging and acceptance. How can transactional analysis help individuals to challenge and redefine their limiting beliefs about legitimacy? How can practitioners promote a sense of empowerment and agency to constructively challenge unfair systems?

 

Identity is a multifaceted frame that shapes our self-concept, relationships, and aspirations. As the world becomes more interconnected, questions of identity become increasingly complex. How does transactional analysis offer tools for understanding and reconciling conflicting identities? How can the theory contribute to fostering a sense of self that is resilient, adaptable, and inclusive of diverse aspects?

 

This conference will feature thought-provoking keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and panel discussions led by renowned experts in the transactional analysis fields of psychotherapy, counseling, education, organizations, management, coaching, and training. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the intersections of legacy, legitimacy, and identity through case studies, research presentations, and experiential activities.

 

Join us as we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of these pivotal themes and their implications for personal growth, professional practice, and societal progress. Together, we will explore how transactional analysis can be a guiding framework for individuals and professionals navigating the complexities of legacy, legitimacy, and identity in an ever-changing world. The conference is intended to be a place to discuss questions related to these profound themes to unravel their impact on personal development, relationships, work, and societal transformation.
