Yes: Popularized by eric berne in the 1960s, ta is an updated, more "user friendly" variation of freudian psychotherapy. Wikipedia has a good, long entry on ta: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/transactional_analysis.

Yes: Eric Berne is considered the father of transactional anlysis, and it involves an amalgam of several different types of mainstream psychotherapies. For some it can be very effective.
