Synopsis

Using a basis of transactional analysis, this text takes models used by psychotherapists worldwide, converts them into terms that can be more easily understood and relates them specifically to what happens at work. Drawing on examples from a broad spread of organizations, it shows how the reader might use these theories to interpret the dynamics between people and make better choices about responses. Aiming to expand the reader's range of options, this work uses some self-awareness activities to help eliminate unhelpful patterns from the past and replace them with resourceful new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

This edition has been updated to include several of Julie s developments of the models, which now place even more emphasis of the positive psychology of Transactional Analysis (TA). There is also an extra chapter that contains an intriguing framework for bringing many of the ideas together in a way that allows us to predict how best to interact with someone new or someone we know already when they are stressed. After more than 45 years experience as an employee, supervisor, manager, trade unionist, trainer and consultant, Julie is able to draw her examples from industry, the public sector, local and central government.
