In response to Tom Harris posted by redback:

T/A is--probably--the best tool I have known that helps us put our relationships in the context of what it means to be an adult. In fact, that IS the purpose of T/A that helps us understand the various personality states that were, first, presented by Freud as Super-Ego, Ego, and Id. Harris presents them as Parent, Adult, and Child and goes further to break each state down in three parts. Then, he shows how, when we relate with each other, we do so from and to one of these states. So, if "my parent" is relating with "your adult" some problems might result--and so on.
