Continuing its global expansion, the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) is proud to announce the induction of 34 new members in January 2026.

Led by a strong cohort of seven inductees from the United Kingdom, this new group represents 15 different nations, strengthening the association’s network in territories ranging from Western Europe to Asia and Oceania. Following the demographic trend observed in late 2025, the January list continues to show significant female representation, although male membership saw a notable increase in countries such as Italy and India.

In terms of regional performance, India and Italy emerged as the primary drivers of growth this month, both recording a 200% increase in new registrations. Croatia also maintained upward momentum with a 33.3% rise in its member count. Furthermore, the association celebrated its first 2026 representatives from Brazil, Germany, France, and New Zealand, marking a highly diversified start to the year for the global community.
