The first is named ~ Transactional Analysis. [TA]
It is just one of the many Management Theories I used back in the past.
With my own children and wife I learned to stay in the Adult (A). With older friends they usually stay in the Parent (P) position and talk down to Child (C) in me; we then talk down to each other and never talk again !

From a 1966 NET Science broadcast special on Dr. Eric Berne. The interview takes place at Dr. Berne home in Carmel, California where Dr. Berne explains the theory behind Transactional Analysis. Dr. Berne died in 1970. Covering the six ways people structure their time socially i.e. through Rituals, Past times, Activities, Games, Intimacy and if all else fails Withdrawal. Intimacy being a game free relationship where people talk straight to each other.
The second Theory I used; and taught executives to know, has the name
Situational Leadership.
