The authors discuss the importance of training clinicians to think critically and creatively about psychotherapy theory and its clinical applications. They offer their “Content Outline for TA Training and Supervision” as a guideline for evaluating and giving balanced attention to the theoretical, technical, ethical/professional, and personal functioning of therapists. General goals and specific strategies employed to facilitate trainees' learning to interrelate theory and clinical skills in practice are presented. Though focused on the training of transactional analysts, the authors suggest that the material, with some revisions in content, can be applied to teaching other psychotherapy methods as well
