This research aimed at studying the effectiveness of transactional analysis on increasing family
functioning in distressed couples referring to Boroujen City Family Welfare Center. Population of the study
included all the distressed couples referring to this center. The 30 distressed couples were randomly selected
from among the volunteers who responded to the researcher’s call for increasing family functioning. The
couples were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (15 couples for each). The research plan
included pre- and post-test with the control group. Transactional analysis and family functioning were the
independent and the dependent variables, respectively. Both groups were pre-tested. The experimental group
received eight sessions of training on Transactional Analysis. Then both groups were post-tested. This research
used Family Assessment Device (FAD) as the instrument of data collection. Results from descriptive statistical
methods and Multivariate Covariance Analysis (MANCOVA) showed the effectiveness of transactional
analysis therapy on increasing family functioning (problem solving, communication, roles, affective
responsiveness, affective involvement, behavioral control and general functioning) among the couples of the
experimental group as compared to the control group.
