Description
Book SynopsisThis accessible textbook on transactional analysis (TA) provides a comprehensive overview of TA theory, with a strong emphasis throughout on practical application.
The core theory of TA is explained, as well as how concepts have developed over time. Each theoretical concept is presented with brief examples or vignettes from different fields of application of TA (such as psychotherapy, counselling, education, organisational) and- crucially- how TA can be used in everyday life. To facilitate the learning of concepts, the book includes: a glossary of key terms, self-observations (prompts), personal development activities, chapter summaries, and bullet points of key learning at the end of each chapter together with suggestions for further reading.
This is an essential text for complete beginners and first year students on TA training courses as well as students on counselling and psychotherapy training, and those undertaking training in organisational development and coaching.
