Timeline
English married (although they separated in 1972) and had a son (died 1977) and daughter, Deirdre English. She died on January 18, 2022, at the age of 105.
After retirement she moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco, California. In 1995 she was severely burnt in a kitchen accident. The treatment resulted in addiction to opioid medicines, from which she recovered. English moved to live in San Mateo, California.
In 1978, she received the Eric Byrne Memorial Scientific Award. This was for her work on The Substitution Factor. She was given this award again in 1997. In 2010 English was awarded a gold medal by the European Association for Transactional Analysis for her outstanding contributions over forty years. The International Transactional Analysis Association established the Fanita English Lifetime Achievement Award in her honour, and English was its first recipient in 2020.
In 1970 she founded the Eastern Institute for TA and Gestalt in Philadelphia where she worked until 1979. She then lectured and gave workshops in Europe (Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy) until her retirement in 1993. Although she retired in 1993, after a two year break she resumed writing and giving some workshops in the US but mostly in Europe.
She later changed her practice from psychoanalysis to transactional analysis during the 1960s with the objective of providing better treatment to her patients. She completed training in psychoanalysis and gestalt therapy with Fritz Perls at the Gestalt Institute "Klevelandskom" and then trained in transaction analysis (with Eric Berne and David Kupfer). As Eric Berne's first student, she put the four basic attitudes into a developmental psychological context and added the fifth variant, "I'm ok - you're ok - realistic". English began working as a transactional analyst in Chicago and also taught part-time at Chicago University.
English was initially a psychoanalyst. In 1949, she was the executive director of the Alexandria Family Service Agency in Washington. She then had a successful practice as a child analyst in Chicago. She was director of “Ridge Farm”, an institution for emotionally disturbed children outside Chicago from 1953 - 1956. Then, from 1956 until 1964 she was in private practice.
