Jan Hennig

Job Titles:
  • President of EATA 1999 until 2001
During my presidency I was for some time also president of the German TA association DGTA and it was one of my foci to improve and facilitate the co-operation between EATA and its members (and the other multinational organizations (ITAA (International Transactional Analysis Association) and WPTA (Western Pacific Transactional Analysis Association)). The sense of belonging and respecting each other with the TA philosophy of I'm O.K. you're O.K. was more difficult on the organizational level than on the personal level. So it needed constant practice and I enjoyed the many inter- national contacts I was able to have in this time.

John Parr

Job Titles:
  • President of EATA 1996 until 1999
I became President of EATA immediately after the separation from the ITAA. Much of my time as president was devoted to rebuilding healthy relationships between the two associations and together with Gloria Noriega, the President of ITAA, I am proud that we were able to continue in a collegiate way.

Julie Hay

Job Titles:
  • President of EATA 1987 until 1989
It may seem strange that I choose a photo of an elephant to illustrate my time as EATA President - but within that role I negotiated the affiliation with ITAA, and because of that role I was invited to run for election, and became, ITAA President. Because of that, I was able to persuade ITAA Board to accept an invitation to run a conference in India - and hence went riding astride the back of an elephant within a parade of 105 elephants all decked out in gold. Hence my EATA presidency lead directly to this highlight I recall how positive the relationships were between EATA and ITAA at that time - and I am proud of being the person who introduced the TAlent (the policy of giving discounts to those in economically disadvantaged areas of the world) to both organisations - and for which I thank Jenni & Mervyn Hine for the original idea. I have chosen the second photo to illustrate my ongoing involvement in the TA community. Having been TSTA Organisational and Educational for many years, I went back as a student to complete the training and pass the EATA CTA Psychotherapy exam in 2014 - and I am now working on the Counselling CTA accreditation . . . The jacket I am wearing is my ‘psychotherapist jacket' that I knitted during the training to show that I can think about things other than TA

Roland Johnsson

Job Titles:
  • President of EATA 2001 until 2004
In my sailing boat I have a sign that says "I'm the captain of the ship and I have my wife's permission to say so." Although this is humorously meant, I think it fit well with my new situation in EATA. "I was the new president of EATA and I had the Council's and the members' permission to say so". I'm a TSTA in psychotherapy and a member of ITAA and EATA since the start of EATA in 1975. Actually my primary sponsor for the TSTA, Michael Reddy, was the first president of EATA. The work for a joint handbook (together with ITAA through TACC) was an important task, because it stresses main directions for EATA: co-operation, connection and internationalism. When sailing you learn to navigate well, keep the course, and then work yourself through all hinders like wind, weather, waves and rocks and with a cooperative crew you will reach the destination sooner or later. Working for a joint manual is that kind of a practical task.
