In general, increased attention has been given to parent education programs during the past decade. Specifically, theorists have applied transactional analysis to parent education. One such program is Self-Esteem: A Family Affair, written by Jean Illsley Clarke (1978). This outcome study evaluates the effectiveness of the eight-week Self-Esteem: A Family Affair program with families that had adolescent children aged 11–19. Families were randomly assigned to the treatment or control group. Each family was measured for self-esteem, family adaptability, family cohesion, and family conflict. Treatment families scored significantly different from controls on measures of adaptability, cohesion, and conflict. The program is presented along with implications for TA research and practice
