OK Parent: The Use of Transactional Analysis When Working with Perinatal Clients – Iva Gospodnetić and Mara Modrić i

Transactional analysis and its concepts are of great value in direct work with perinatal clients and in promoting parental mental health. In this webinar, Iva Gospodnetić and Mara Modrić will present their OK Parent project. The goal of the OK Parent project is to strengthen the capacities of the perinatal population and professionals who work with perinatal clients. They achieve this goal through psychoeducation that connects the concepts of TA and parenting and through direct experiential and psychotherapy individual and group work with perinatal clients and professionals who work with perinatal clients. Their way of working is rooted in an ethical and moral approach based on scientific evidence and the theory and concepts of transactional analysis.In the lecture, they will present the concepts of transactional analysis they use while working with perinatal clients and show how they shape their work.

Some concepts they will cover are emotions from a TA perspective, scripts, integrative TA methods (inquiry, attunement and involvement), relational needs, recycling of developmental stages, and the role of the therapeutic relationship in healing perinatal distress. In addition, they will address the concept of attachment and its role in working with clients, as well as the importance of holding as a key intervention in establishing a therapeutic relationship and the foundation for working with perinatal clients.
