Widdowson argues that research is essential to the wider acceptance of transactional analysis and that research will support the expansion of TA and will act as a powerful marketing force for TA-practitioners and training institutes. Therefore, it is in the interests of every member of the TA community to conduct research or actively support further TA research. Widdowson summarizes his research into the effectiveness of TA and presents a brief synopsis of current TA psychotherapy effectiveness research. The article also includes a summary of Mark Widdowson’s research findings regarding the distinctive features of effective TA-psychotherapy and effective TA-therapists. He concludes by expressing his gratitude and thanks to a number of people who have supported him on his research journey.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Эта статья является речью Марка Виддоусона на церемонии вручения премии ITAA за достижения в области научных исследований транзактного анализа, которая была присуждена ему на Всемирной конференции по транзактному анализу в Берлине, в июле 2017 года. Марк Виддоусон утверждает, что исследования необходимы для более широкого признания транзактного анализа, и что они будут способствовать его распространению, а также выступят мощным маркетинговым инструментом для специалистов и обучающих институтов ТА. Таким образом, в интересах каждого члена сообщества транзактного анализа проводить исследования или активно поддерживать дальнейшие исследования в этой области. Виддоусон кратко излагает свое исследование, посвященное эффективности транзактного анализа, и представляет краткий обзор актуальных исследований в области эффективности психотерапии с использованием транзактного анализа. В статье также приводится краткое изложение результатов исследований Марка Виддоусона относительно характерных черт эффективной психотерапии транзактным анализом и успешных терапевтов транзактного анализа. В завершение автор речи выражает благодарность и признательность людям, которые поддерживали его на исследовательском пути.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>teacher</kwd><kwd>research</kwd><kwd>transactional analysis</kwd><kwd>award</kwd><kwd>acknowledgements</kwd><kwd>ITAA</kwd><kwd>Mark Widdowson</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>преподаватель</kwd><kwd>исследования</kwd><kwd>транзактный анализ</kwd><kwd>премия</kwd><kwd>благодарности</kwd><kwd>ITAA</kwd><kwd>Марк Виддоусон</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Benelli, E., Boschetti, D., Piccirillo, C., Quagliotti, L., Calvo, V., Palmieri, A., Sambin, M., Widdowson, M.
