Zen Transactional Therapy (ZTT) is a system of treatment based on principles garnered from the Zen meditative discipline and from "transactional" therapies. One prime tenet is that of "Mutually-effected play" wherein all are effected by the play of the therapist and the client. Whether observor, co-client (in the case of group or couples therapy) or externally related beings (family members at home who will interact with the newly effected client, friends, co-workers, or all who will eventually come into contact with the client doing the work through ZTT. Indeed, the purport of ZTT is that all (the entire universe) are effected by all changes everywhere.  This principle called the "Butterfly Effect" derives from an old trope - "A butterfly may flutter it's wings over a flower in China and cause a hurricane in the Carribean", and is popular in science fiction writers who may use it in time-travel stories. Princible tenets and techniques revolve around the concept of the healing power of laughter and humor when used in a compassionate and skillful manner by the ZTT therapist.
