The Scottish Transactional Analysis Association (STAA) is a new membership body formed to represent the interests and wishes of Transactional Analysis (TA) trainees and professionals working across Scotland.
The Scottish Transactional Analysis Assoication (STAA) is a brand new organisation that seeks to promote TA across Scotland and internationally, including the support, promotion and regulation of training in all four fields of application- that is, psychotherapy, counselling, organisational and educational TA.
We are particularly keen to:
- develop the TA community in Scotland
- participate in the global TA community
- advance TA education and research
- build a strong evidence base for the effectiveness of TA
- develop dialogue and collaboration with other modalities around common concerns in the field of counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland.
In advance of producing a website, we have set up a discussion group on LinkedIn to help kickstart dialogue among existing members and, also, reach out to all potential members and other interested parties.
Please feel free to have a look at: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3006386, or search for 'Scottish Transactional Analysis Association'.
Many thanks

Promoting good mental health and well-being among Leithers
Having moved to Leith in 2007 and rapidly developed a strong bond with the place and its distinctive sense of community, the decision to set up my counselling and psychotherapy practice here was a natural next step.
I've always been curious as to what makes people tick- and, sometimes, what causes that mechanism to wind down, or stop- and I'm particularly interested in the mental idiosyncracies of the average Leither, if there is such a being. That strange contradiction so often apparent between expressing great pride in their local area and, frustratingly, a tendency to let the place become slovenly and unkempt. The look of incredulity you might be greeted with in some quarters if you mention that you might venture uptown to Edin-bra for a night out...."Why ya gau-in up there!?"
In many ways, its a source of great pleasure and personal satisfaction to be providing a much-needed service to people in difficulty in the place I hold in great affection and esteem. For many years, I've missed that feeling of belonging to something a little larger than four walls, or a small circle of friends and, though it borders on cliche, I enjoy the notion of giving something back to the community that gave me a sense of being at home.
