to Home ?
Written from the perspective of
one who participated in the development of
transactional analysis from its earliest days to the present.
Dedicated to all the people who are fascinated by transactional analysis;
a worldwide movement of deeply egalitarian and democratic principles.
Steiner synthesizes, in this brief and readable text, his stroke and
heart-centered, information-based approach.
Love, strokes, the stroke economy, cooperation, power abuse, and an
anthropological analysis of how our hierarchical power system evolved are
explored in depth.
The crucial roles of the Child, the Adult, and the two Parents -- Nurturing and
Critical -- are illuminated with special focus on the Critical Parent’s
function.
The
book maintains faith with Berne's core concepts: the analysis of transactions
between ego states; games and scripts, the
OK existential position; contracts and cures; crisp, understandable theory;
effective, information-based practice.
