Transactional Analysis (TA) has continued to grow and develop ever since
its inception by the Canadian American psychiatrist Dr Eric Berne over a
half century ago. It has proven itself to be an extremely useful model
for human relations professionals working in a variety of contexts and
fields, such as psychotherapy, coaching and counselling, management and
organisational development, or parenting and education. TA combines an
accessible theory on the development of people and systems with a
practical approach, centred on the possibilities of change, growth and
development. Into TA is a comprehensive textbook of contemporary TA in
theory and practice. The first section of the book focusses on theory,
presented so that both beginning and experienced professionals will find
much of value. TA theory is then further integrated with other current
models of psychology, education, and organisational consultation. The
second section provides rich and stimulating examples of TA in practice
that bring the theory to life.
