This article considers the application of transactional analysis (TA) theory in a nonclinical setting with foster parents and discusses the merits of offering therapeutic training to this section of the United Kingdom children’s workforce. Transactional analysis theory is used to illustrate how TA knowledge can be crucial in helping foster parents to understand both their own internal world and that of the child. The author analyzes the gap in expectations regarding the training of foster parents generally and the enormity of the task they are asked to undertake. This is particularly onerous when looking after children who have been significantly harmed, with all the consequent emotional and behavioral difficulties that ensue
