Transactional analysis is growing in popularity as an approach to
psychotherapy, and this book provides an in-depth, comprehensive model
of theory and practice.
Transactional Analysis: A Relational Perspective presents a relational
model of psychotherapy which reflects the theoretical and methodological
changes that have been evolving over recent years. In this book, Helena
Hargaden and Charlotte Sills tell the story of their model through case
history, theory and diagram illustrating how the unconscious process
comes to life in the consulting room. Their relational theory and
applied methodology of transactional analysis makes it possible to chart
realms of uncertainty and the unknown, (deconfusion of the Child ego
state), with theoretical assistance.
Transactional Analysis: A Relational Perspective covers:
* the approach
* the dynamics of the relationship
* therapeutic transactions
* wider implications.
It looks at the whole therapeutic relationship, from the establishment
of the working alliance, to the terminating of therapy and beyond. It
will be of great interest to postgraduates and professionals in the
field of psychotherapy.
