Object:
Transactional analysis (TA) is an integrative approach to the theory of psychology and psychotherapy. TA was first developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne starting the late 1950s. It came to the forefront of public attention with the 1964 publication of his book. It remained in vogue for a decade. TA reports that we respond in social situations as a Parent – Child – Adult. The healthiest response is that of an Adult who uses reason. As a Parent we scold and think we know best. The least appropriate is that of a Child, who is demanding and can certainly be angry. As individuals of a mature age, we can display any one of the three.
Application: How was doubting Thomas responding to the Lord -- as a child, as a parent, or as an adult? Was Thomas justified in his behavior, in his doubting?
