The second part of the study examines the practical aspects of applying transactional analysis (TA) in criminalistic tactics, focusing on establishing and maintaining psychological contact during interrogation. It is noted that TA is not a universal tool, but its conscious use contributes to improving the quality of preliminary investigation. The author demonstrates how the fixation of the interrogated individuals in the “Child” (adaptive or rebellious) or “Parent” ego states can provoke conflicts and hinder cooperation. Based on examples from investigative practice, strategies for interacting with the interrogated individuals in various ego states are proposed, including the tactic of transitioning from crossed transactions to parallel ones. It is emphasized that the conscious application of TA allows the investigator to flexibly manage transactions, minimize emotional costs, and increase the reliability of the information obtained. The article supplements the theoretical foundation of the first part with specific recommendations, supported by an analysis of professional, personal, and situational factors influencing the ego states of the participants in the process.
