Purpose of Committee

The Committee will promote and support further developments in psychotherapy research and particularly TA Research, specifically, put forward and work towards a “culture of research” within the MIP community and TA community as a whole.

We will familiarise ourselves with the present TA Research resources – at present – for example EATA has a Research Journal.

We are all committed to the pursuit of Psychotherapy Research not only at MIP but in the wider psychotherapy community, and of course Transactional Analysis.

We will be using present resources within the scope of research for example, utilising the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy Research Website which is to be found at www.psychotherapyresearch.co.uk .

The Members Committee was formed in September 2014 as part of theManchester Institute for Psychotherapy committee structure.

This committee is concerned with reviewing member services and looking at our existing member benefits, how to communicate those to members and also how to increase the service we provide for members.

We have lots of ideas and we will welcome feedback on new ideas etc.

The team is a friendly team and will work towards the areas above.

Welcome to the Media Committee which was formed August 2014.

Our purpose and remit is as follows …..

Basically we are the team behind the Manchester Institute website (including the blog), Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. We also closely liaise with the other MIP Committees, on spreading the word of The Manchester Institute and Transactional Analysis in the wider community.

We are a friendly team, and open to feedback about our work, which helps us to keep on our toes and create an online presence that is dynamic, and attracts members and non-members alike, including those that have just heard about the amazing theory and application of Transactional Analysis.

We will be specifically concentrating not only on our online presence, but also on the creation of a magazine as the Flagship for The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.
