Eric Berne is to Transactional Analysis as Fritz Perls is to Gestalt Therapy.

• A. Gestalt Therapy
• B. Psychoanalytic Therapy
• C. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
• D. Humanistic Therapy

Answer: (A)

Eric Berne is known for creating Transactional Analysis, a approach that looks at social interactions and ego states (Parent, Adult, Child) to understand communication patterns. Fritz Perls is the founder of Gestalt Therapy, which emphasizes here-and-now awareness, the whole experience, and how a person completes unfinished business to achieve personal integration. The strongest match in this analogy is Gestalt Therapy, since it directly pairs Perls with the therapy he developed. While Gestalt Therapy is often viewed within the broader humanistic tradition, the question focuses on the specific founder-to-therapy link, making Gestalt Therapy the best choice.
