Welcome!
As cochairs of the 2019 joint conference, and on behalf of Southeast Institute, USATAA, and ITAA, we are immensely pleased to invite you to cocreate “Promoting Equality and OKness: Healing the Divisions in Our World,” in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, 31 July–3 August. This theme is true to the founding principles of the Southeast Institute for Group and Family Therapy, which began in 1969 as the Fellowship for Racial and Economic Equality. The healing of interpersonal and societal trauma lies at the heart of both personal and social change. We want you to be here with us as we learn, teach, and celebrate the uniqueness and worth of everyone. Our goals are to apply transactional analysis in our lives and across the four disciplines of transactional analysis to create a world that affirms everyone’s OKness—not in spite of, but because of, our differences. The scientific program and keynotes include notable activists and authors from within and outside of the TA community, echoing our commitment to be inclusive and innovative. The postconference institutes are about making our commitments real in schools, therapy offices, organizations, counseling practices, and communities. We hope you will submit a proposal before 31 January to present what is most alive for you now as a contribution to the evolution that is so needed today. And we look forward to greeting you personally in Raleigh next summer.
Vann Joines and Lucy Freedman, Conference Cochairs

2018 ITAA-SAATA Conference
17-19 August, Kochi, Kerala, India
ITAA Board Meeting * Trainers’ Meeting * IBOC Exams 15-16 August * TEW 20-21 August
With the political, social, and economic impact of globalization and ever-increasing diversity in communities worldwide, we are all on different points on the cultural continuum, from the “mixed salad” to the “melting pot”—everyone a part of “The Dance of Culture.” Can this metaphor inspire us as transactional analysts to explore and, if needed, change our roles in this dance of culture and encourage others to join us?
India, with its diverse cultures, invites you to join us in beautiful Kochi to consider together “The Dance of Culture.” We will meet in the city of Ernakulam, the commercial capital of Kerala and the eastern, mainland portion of the city of Kochi (erstwhile Cochin). It is served by an international airport, fine communication facilities, excellent accommodations, and modern amenities and has many lovely places that offer a breathtaking experience for visitors.
Kochi is a fascinating blend of cultures. From time immemorial, it has been the favorite destination of globe trotters and explorers. Blessed by one of the finest natural harbors in the world, Kochi has been described as the “Queen of the Arabian Sea.” In and around Kochi are several cities of monumental value, but step into Fort Kochi, and you are in a totally different world. The Chinese fishing nets, the Jewish synagogue, the Dutch palace, the Portuguese and British architecture—all are unique features of Kochi.

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS CONFERENCES WORLDWIDE
27-29 July 2017: Berlin, Germany. World TA Conference. Contact: info@tawc2017.berlin or www.tawc2017.berlin
2017 World TA Conference on “Boundaries: A Place ... to Meet ... to Develop ... to Define Identity
27-29 July * Berlin, Germany
Organized by EATA, ITAA, and FTAA and hosted by the German Association for Transactional Analysis (DGTA)
In Berlin, peace and war have been close neighbors, and people know that boundaries can mean limits, challenges, and chances. For more than 25 years, Berliners were starkly faced with the Cold War, represented by the Berlin Wall and the fact that people could be shot because they wanted to be free. Even so, Berliners experienced the support of many people all over the world, as they did when John F. Kennedy said, “Ich bin ein Berliner!”
In Berlin, boundaries and borders have played a vital role as both a source of limitations and protection. Creating, maintaining, and finally opening a border is part of the history and memory of the city. As we celebrate more than 25 years after the fall of the Wall, we are now faced with the challenges of a world in which rich and poor people are increasingly separated, where places to meet are often virtual, where identity and the search for it is hard work. Our challenge is to help people develop the ability to be safe in managing the uncertainty of today’s world. How do we as transactional analysts respond to these challenges and take social responsibility? What are the answers, ways, and perspectives we can offer? How can we use our theory and practice to build a safer world? What are the meaning of borders and boundaries to us? How do boundaries help us to define our identity and contrast ourselves with others or establish contact with them? Is it possible to define identity without borders, by crossing borders?
These and many more questions will be taken up during the 2017 TA World Conference. We as transactional analysts can contribute to answering them as individuals and communities. We invite you to meet and to express your enthusiasm for TA and excitement about transactional analysis in the world. Welcome to Berlin!

Hotel Park Plaza, Coimbatore, India

Designated site of the 2016 ITAA official meetings and IBOC CTA exams
ITAA Conference 2015
29 July to 1 August
Groups are universal. Whether it is in training, supervision, therapy, teaching, organisations or coaching…groups and the analysis of group dynamics can be transformative. Additionally, the theme group evokes many different perspectives:
- Individual integration, assimilation and identification relative to groups and the resulting relational dynamics, through to
- The evolution and development of individuals in educational and organisational settings.
Culturally, socially, economically and spiritually groups are essential to the fabric of society and to the theory of Transactional Analysis.
Today, people are lamenting the loss of the group because of its power as a vehicle for primitive relational material to emerge and for learning, redecision, holding and challenging to take place. The conference theme is, in essence, a refocusing on Berne’s idea that Transactional Analysis, as an essentially interpersonal endeavour, is a group experience.
