Eric Berne Archives
Our Mission
The Eric Berne Archives at the University of California, San Francisco are a treasured resource for those studying the man who changed the way we think about psychotherapy, personality and communicating with others. The archives will include books, papers, audio / video, personal correspondence, and other momentos from his family life.
Eric Berne’s archival material will continue to be important to scholars researching his life and theory – and to Transactional Analysis practitioners who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the man and his body of work. Read more or contact us.
By putting his archives online, we will forever preserve Eric Berne’s life’s work.
– Carol Solomon, Gloria Noriega, Terry Berne, Ann Heathcote, and Marco Mazzetti.
