Into TA brings both beginners and more experienced readers towards a deeper understanding of transactional analysis (TA) in theory and practice.
This book presents the basic models of TA in a sequence, allowing those new to the field to trace its development from its foundations to more depth and complexity. For those who have previously studied and worked with TA, it offers the opportunity to deepen existing knowledge and experience through summaries of theoretical developments and research. Into TA highlights the relationship with other modalities so that the development of TA can be understood within the broader perspective of the theory and practice of social-psychological care, and this new edition includes brand new chapters by a range of practitioners using TA in different contexts.
Into TA is a book for all professionals who are convinced that the quality of the relationship between the professional and his or her client is the main ingredient in their necessary or desired growth and development.
Praise for the first edition:
‘Into TA is a much-needed overview of contemporary thinking and practice. The authors have successfully applied a format in which readers with different levels of insight or experience can find their way. In each chapter the authors take the reader on a journey from basic to deeper and broader understanding of the concepts and their context, making bridges to other psychological and organisational theories. By paying attention to the development of theory and practice, the book integrates the notions of changing by insight and changing by doing. In the tradition of Eric Berne, this is a highly recommended book for professionals, clients and patients.’
—Servaas van Beekum, teaching and supervising transactional analyst, social scientist and past president of EATA and ITAA; winner of the 2015 Eric Berne Memorial Award
‘This great book responds to a perceived need in the TA community, something completely new in the literature: a comprehensive textbook of TA theory and practice. The book offers a rich and detailed review on the development of TA theory, which is covered from its beginning to the more recent advancements. It roots Transactional Analysis in a fascinating way into the contemporary discoveries of psychology and neurosciences and presents a complete connection and integration of TA with other psychological theories and approaches. A highly appreciated book, an invaluable present for transactional analysts.’
—Marco Mazzetti, psychiatrist, teaching and supervising transactional analyst, past president of EATA; winner of the 2012 Eric Berne Memorial Award
