As the newly-appointed Chair, I am happy to announce that the inaugural meeting of the UKATA Wider Publications Committee (WPC) took place on Sunday 7th July via the online video calling service provided by Oovoo. Currently comprising seven Committee Members, the WPC aims to raise awareness of transactional analysis theory and practice beyond the confines of the UK therapeutic community and begin to garner interest in both UKATA and individual practitioners' work from other professions, local and national government, local and national media and the general public.
Look out for our launch article in the next edition of UKATA's 'Transactional Analyst' magazine- but, in the meantime, I would be very interested in speaking to anybody within the TA community who thinks they can provide articles (short, long, academic, topical), audio and visual interviews, or expert comment to the media on any subject incorporating the application of TA theory and practice.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course!
Best wishes
David Harford (Chair)
WPC MISSION STATEMENT
The Wider Publications Committee (WPC) aims to raise the profile of TA theory and practice in all four fields of application within local and national media and the wider general public. Through sourcing diverse contributions from across the TA community, supporting those individual contributors to enhance their marketing and public relations skills and by acting as first point of contact for media organisations looking for material, the WPC serves to extend awareness of TA theory and practice beyond the traditional confines of the therapeutic community and invite wider recognition for our valuable work in society.
