It provides a secure professional and ethical basis for the work of accredited transactional analysts. ANZTAA is affiliated to the Federation Transactional Analysis Associations and the the International Transactional Analysis Association. It also has a strong partnership with its Australian neighbour, the Australian Transactional Analysis Association, the European Association of Transactional Analysis, the UK Transactional Analysis Association.

International Association of Transactional Analysis (ITAA)

itaa This is a worldwide "umbrella" organisation for Transactional Analysis. It is a non-profit educational corporation, and is based in San Francisco. In its role as an international forum for Transactional Analysis services and standards, the ITAA makes feasible the mutual recognition of Transactional Analysis professional credentials in 74 countries around the world. Its accreditation arm, the Board of Certification (BOC), performs the same role outside of Europe as EATA's Commission of Certification (COC) does within Europe; the BOC and COC stay in close liaison with each other so as to maintain comparability in the competency-based examinations that the two bodies conduct in their respective areas.

The ITAA publishes a monthly newsletter, The Script, and a quarterly scientific journal of theory and research in Transactional Analysis, the Transactional Analysis Journal. ITAA also provides awards: Eric Berne Memorial Award; Muriel James Living Principles Award; Hedges Capers Humanitarian Award; Robert and Mary Goulding Social Justice Award.

TAAJ welcomes professionals (clinical psychologists, nurses, social workers, organizational consultants, teachers, etc.) and laypersons as well, and now has several members who have internationally qualified in the fields of psychotherapy, education, and organizations.

Founded in 1987, it began with a working group of individuals who earnestly wanted to learn TA more. Michiko Fukazawa, TSTA (P) was elected as the first president because she had trained in the United States for a long time. Therefore TAAJ had a strong relationship with Muriel James, Robert and Mary Goulding in its first era. For more than 30-year-history, TAAJ had organized workshops with many international trainers. TAAJ holds TA101 and other advanced courses every year, and publishes a newsletter every 4 months, which includes articles on international TA circumstances. In addition, it provides Japanese translation of the IBOC training handbook on its website to help trainees and examinees.

The European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA). EATA has an expanding membership currently numbering some 7,500. The Association publishes a thrice-yearly Newsletter and organises an annual conference.

EATA currently has 34 membership associations with more than 7550 members in 27 European countries.

One of EATA's most important tasks is to administer the system of standard, competency-based professional examinations for transactional analysts in Europe. This is the special province of EATA's Commission of Certification (COC). Britain's UKATA, like all the other European associations, uses the COC examination structure as the basis for accrediting Transactional Analysis professionals.

One of their goals is to help create powerful national Transactional Analysis organisations, which can spread and develop Transactional Analysis in Europe. EATA has a group membership process, i.e. in order to be a member, the individual is a member of a Transactional Analysis group within the country they reside.
