Abstract
This article uses transactional analysis techniques to analyze the variables of successful consultation. A small-N analogue to Behavior Modification Consultation was employed. The data indicates the degree of success to be positively correlated with mean number of parallel and adult-adult transactions. Criteria of success were: 1) the subjective evaluations of the participants and; 2) the degree to which their behavioral goals were obtained.
