Summary
A review of research shows that aggression is among the common behavior problems insofar as in the US, nearly a quarter of the population somehow experience this behavior during their life (Department of Health, 2001). The TA view is a system of psychotherapy used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, from daily problems to very deep psychosis Concepts such as the ego-state (parent-adult-child) model, interaction, caress, draft of life, mental game, independence and self-obey is used in this theory (Stewart & Jones, 2007). The TA method is a rational approach that assists an individual to analyze and understand his/her own behavior as well as to acquire knowledge and take responsibility, according to what is happening in the present time (Stewart & Jones, 2007) This is one of the most palpable theories of modern psychology which is performed mostly as a model of interpersonal communication. It is a very common method of treatment (Tudor, 2002)
