ITA Funds Research into Effective Practitioner Training

The Transactional Analysis Department has won a grant of £2000 from the Institute of Transactional Analysis for a piece of research co-ordinated by Dr. Biljana van Rijn. The research is an evaluative inquiry into our newly re-designed, second year of training. This training year is itself research based and locates students’ learning about practice at the centre of the training. Each student’s learning journey is supported by their tutor, supervisor and practice manager as they investigate for themselves the question: ‘How do I become an effective practitioner?’, learning research skills alongside their clinical practice.
