____________________________________________
From 1988 through 1993, no Eric Berne Scientific
Memorial Awards were presented. Instead,
qualifications for the award were broadened
to include four areas of contribution:

(1) theory,
(2) research,
(3) practice applications, and
(4) comparison and/or integration of TA theory or
practice with other theories or approaches.

The name of the award was changed to the Eric Berne
Memorial Award in Transactional Analysis, with the
first new awards presented in 1994.
