The authors investigate questions concerning the learning climate in transactional analysis training programs. Their research evolved from their own experience as transactional analysis trainees beginning in the 1980s to their more recent experience as transactional analysis trainers. As trainees, they often experienced a warm, welcoming atmosphere in training groups. During their search to become competent trainers, they took part in training classes outside of transactional analysis, including several informed by a more psychoanalytic, didactic model. They found that the exploration of the more uncomfortable reality in groups adds an important dimension to the development of a transactional analysis professional. This inspired them to question and challenge the sometimes calming and nurturing learning climate in many transactional analysis training groups
