In this new edition published by SAGE, An Introduction to Transactional
Analysis introduces the theory and practice of Transactional Analysis
(TA) which integrates cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic theories
within a humanistic philosophy. While most TA books focus on one field,
this approach demonstrates the benefits of TA across a wide variety of
settings, business and management, education and coaching as well as
counseling. Case studies from a variety of contexts bring TA to life for
practitioners in any of these disciplines, and the accessible, engaging
writing style makes difficult concepts understandable for undergraduates
and postgraduates.
Bringing their book into the twenty-first century, the authors provide a
brief history of TA followed by individual chapters on the concepts and
techniques used with detailed definitions and descriptions, and
suggestions for application in practice.
