Transactional Analysis Understanding of the Personal Methods of Realization the Trixter Archetype

Archetypes, as a substantial part of the collective unconscious, are inherent in each person, but their degree of "development" and manifestation strongly depends on the personal life of the individuals, which in fact complicates the possibility of qualitative and rapid analysis of them as a set of dynamic images of a particular person. To solve this problem, we resort in this work to the use of transactional analysis model and its ideas of ego-states and types of personal adaptations, as additional tools for the analysis of the structure of the personality. It reveals the possibility of finding common theoretical parallels of transactional analysis and analytical psychology, which will be able to combine, complement and enrich both theories, both from the cultural and from the universal-functional, structural side. Due to the impossibility to cover the whole area of archetypes, we have focused on the representation in the personality of the archetype of Trickster, as a symbol of pioneering and change, turning in anthropology, folklore and religion to transgressive characters and local understanding of creativity, and allows to identify how the society of different times understands itself by updating the issues of rationality, morality, temporality and meanings.
