  Background and Objectives: The happiness and felicity of every person to a large extent is related to his/her communication with others. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of transactional analysis training on the parent's function of high school boy students in Rafsanjan in 2009.   Materials and Methods: This experimental study was performed on 40 parents of high school boys who had acquired low scores from FAD1 questioner. The parents were randomly divided into two groups (control and an experimental group). The experimental group were trained under transactional training for 10 sessions, and hatf and 1/5 hours each session for one week. Then the FAD test was performed for both groups. Manova and Variance analysis were used to analyze the data.   Results: The results of the study indicated that the mean of the functional scores of post test in the experimental group compared to the control group was statistically significant (134.7 ± 9/87, 96/4 ± 10/72) (p<0001). Also after the post test there was a statically significant difference between the parents function (role, express of affection, and problem solving) in the two groups (p<0001). The functional scores of the experimental group increased from 42.1, 39 and 15.9 to 57.9, 57.9 and 22.9 respectively. This indicates that transactional analysis training has improved the parents functions.   Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that transactional analysis training can be an effective method for an adult relationship and improve the weak relationships.   Key words: Transactional Analysis, Parent's Functions, Boy Students, Rafsanjan     Funding: This research was funded by Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht branch, Marvdasht, Iran.   Conflict of interest: None declared.   Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Islamic Azad University approved the study.
