WELCOME TO
DEVELOPMENT
THE
1ST EATA CONFERENCE
ON
RESEARCH
AND
THEORY
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
On behalf of the European Association for Transactional Analysis I’m honoured to
welcome you in Rome, at the first TA Conference devoted to Research and Theory
Development.
When TA appeared on the stage of psychotherapeutic approaches, in the ‘60s of last
century, it brought a breath of fresh air, due to its innovative philosophy, its pragmatic
attitude and its new and effective methods.
Its founder, Eric Berne, was an exceptional, learned man, with a huge humanistic
and professional background, combined with an uncommon cross-cultural sensitiveness.
While he was fully accounting the scientific tradition of psychiatry and psychoanalysis,
he was also aware of the need to develop something absolutely new, solidly based on
research and clinical observation.
TA originated from his first studies on intuition that he drew with accurate research
projects, and always maintained and valued his researching attitude during the whole
span of his professional life, as witnessed by several published and unpublished articles
he wrote, which can be found in his fascinating archives at the San Francisco University,
actually on the way to be completely published online. Beside his research-based
approach, he always committed himself to continuous theoretical development, and
asked his followers since the very beginning to do the same. One of the rules of the San
Francisco Seminars, established on February 18th 1958, stated that “inventions only”
were admitted: only new ideas were accepted in the debate, in order to promote
creativity, the main resource for a true theoretical development.
So, the EATA initiative to devote a whole conference to research and theoretical
development, with the aim of repeating it every third years, is a way to reconnect TA
with its original Bernean roots: new ideas, “invention only”, and validation through
research.
In the professional world of today, the need for a validated evidence based efficacy
of an approach can’t be postponed anymore: governmental and scientific institutions are
more and more looking for proves in order to recognize the scientific reliability of
theories and professional approaches, and we must be able to ensure this accreditation
to TA.
I wish to express EATA’s and my personal gratitude to all the researchers who are
making this service to our community, and who will present the results of their work
during our conference.
The conference theme, “Beyond Limits: verifying the development of TA theory through
research”, expresses well our needs and our goals, and the commitment of so many TA
researchers.
I wish to express the same gratitude to the organizers, and to their coordinator
Alessandra Pierini, who made a great effort to ensure the realization of our project, and
to the Scientific Committee of the conference, and its chair Laura Bastianelli, who did an
incredible job to look for the best way to promote the presentation of updated TA
researches and theoretical developments.
I’m specially happy to welcome all of you, dear participants, in the eternal city, Rome,
that beside being the wonderful town everybody knows, has been one of the most
important places for the establishing of TA in Europe, where it has been studied and
applied since the early ’70, and one of the places where TA found from it’s beginning a
sound place in the academia and research.
I hope you will enjoy this first European conference on research and theory
development, with the pride to be part of a new step for the future of TA.
Marco Mazzetti
EATA President
Dear Delegates,
On behalf of the Conference Committee, I have the great pleasure to welcome you
to Rome. Thank you for coming to this 1st TA Theory Development and Research
Conference “Beyond limits. Verifying the development of TA Theory through Research.”
The Conference has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive
overview of the latest developments of theory and research in all the four fields of TA
application: Psychotherapy, Counselling, Education, and Organisation.
The theme of this Conference, “Beyond limits”, specifically was proposed by the 7
Italian Associations (AIAT, AUXIMON, CPAT, IAT, IANTI, IRPIR, SIMPAT) that
have organised this event in a productive and collaborative joint venture. This
collaboration is in itself an example of going beyond limits, e.g. beyond their own
membership organization boundaries, beyond conflicts, beyond the personal way to
think and use TA. With this metaphor we would like to point out that research and
development consist in overcoming the limits of the "already known".
I would say this element is in our DNA (or in our script), as transactional analysts.
Berne, our founder, spent his life looking for new ways of understanding personal and
interpersonal human dynamics. He was brave in going beyond the known and approved
theories of his time, beyond a formal academic language and in creating an innovative,
complex, original, effective theory.
With his example and based on his legacy we are still developing TA with new ideas,
integrations, and updates, with qualitative and quantitative research.
Attending this Conference you will have the opportunity to take a close look at the
latest developments across each of the four fields of Transactional Analysis.
Many noted speakers from around the world have joined us in this Conference,
together with insightful although less famous, TA practitioners.
Papers will be presented in the form of plenary sessions, workshops, round tables,
panels and posters: presentations that were carefully selected by the Scientific
Committee from the many abstracts. Some of these studies are outcomes of long and
structured research, on-going research, or new perspectives on old concepts, or new
concepts stemming from discoveries and needs of the present days.
I would also like to invite you to take part in the rich social program: to attend the
books launches, to experience the social dreaming, to visit the gorgeous city of Rome by
bus and a walking tour through the downtown streets, to join the Gala Dinner in a
wonderful location over the famous Gianicolo hill, enjoying a fantastic view of the
eternal city.
I do hope that you will appreciate the Conference and that your interaction with
colleagues from many different countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas for
new developments and research.

of Abertay Dundee.
He is committed to promoting the relevance of research as a means of
informing therapy practice and improving the quality of services that
are available to clients. His enthusiastic search for finding ways to
make research interesting and accessible for practitioners has resulted
in a teaching award from the students at his own university and an
award for exceptional contribution to research from the British
Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. His writing has influenced a generation
of trainees in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, and his books are widely
adopted on training programmes across the world.

His research interests concern: (a) the epistemological reflection on the scientific status
of psychotherapy and psychological intervention; (b) the methodological reflection on
the application of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods in psychotherapy and
clinical research; (c) the empirical investigation of the psychotherapeutic process in
different therapeutic schools (comparative process-outcome research); (d)
psychotherapy integration; and (e) the application of dynamic systems theory to the
study of psychotherapy; (e) the investigation of psychotherapeutic development.

Social Program
The Rome Theory and Research City Tour is
an opportunity to discover stories and places
less known to mass tourism, to walk through
Thursday 9th the streets and to observe monuments that
19:30 – 23:30 marked the life of the city over the centuries.
The tour will start from the Teatro Marcello,
ancient Roman theater used for centuries as the
palace of the noble families of the city, now a
symbolic access to the historic district of St. Angelo. In the streets of the Ghetto, one of
the oldest in Italy, it will be possible to experience the tradition of people who for
centuries have kept the historical and the culinary culture of the city.
Passing over the church of San Carlo of Catinari and the popular via Dei Giubbonari
you will reach Piazza Campo dei Fiori, known for its daily market and for the youth
entertainment at night. The characteristic square, dominated by the monument to the
philosopher Giordano Bruno, is adjacent to the Piazza Farnese, where you will admire
the namesake building, an architectural masterpiece of Michelangelo.
The tour will end in Piazza Navona, built on the Stadium of Domitian, a place
dedicated to the triumph of the Roman Baroque with the famous Fountain of the
Rivers by Bernini and the architectural complexity of S. Agnese in Agone of
Borromini.
After the tour guests will have free time to enjoy the beauty of the city at night and dine

Social Program
Social Dreaming Friday 10th -­‐ Saturday 11th 8:00 – 9:00 The others’ dreams
From dreamer to dream: brief social
dreaming experience
The social dreaming is a technique used with groups that is able to rise up the
contribution that dreams can offer to the social reality comprehension. It has in itself a
double nature: a systemic one and an analytic one. It’s interested in unconscious
processes and in group thinking processes, in its change and in the transformative
aspects, instead of studying the individual.
During the EATA Conference on research we might use our dreams to better
understand the social and institutional reality that we are sharing in these days.
The dream shows us something impossible to see when awake, and helps us to get the
“unthinkable”, in a new perspectival view.
After a brief introduction for giving basic information, we will share our dreams both on
Friday and Saturday.
On Saturday we will close our meeting with a brief creative report.
The social dreaming will be run by Gaetano Sisalli.
