Eric Berne Libros

Dr Berne published this book in 1963, after Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy but before the popular Games People Play. In the preface, he states the book's objective as: "to offer a systematic framework for the therapy of ailing groups & organizations." He discusses the structure & dynamics of groups, classification of groups, the analysis of transactions, an overview of games, group psychotherapy & other subjects. Berne doesn't treat games in great detail--that would come next year in Games People Play. This book is recommended for those interested in an introduction to the application of Transactional Analysis to groups. For a more detailed discussion, readers are recommended to consult Principles of Group Treatment.

It was only after Dr Eric Berne's Games People Play became in international bestseller in 1964, that transactional analysis, his highly original and innovative approach to psychotherapy, attained wide recognition outside the United States. Over the past forty-five years, however, the principles and practice of 't.a.' have intrigued not only professional therapists but all those who seek to understand human personality and the peculiarities of human relationships.Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy , the book in which he first laid out the principles of his method, has become a classic in its field and is now available to a new generation of readers.

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Berne found that each person, in early childhood--under the powerful influence of his parents--writes his own script that will determine the general course of his life. That script dictates what kind of person he will marry, how many children he will have, even what kind of bed he will die in. Most of all, it determines whether he will be a winner or a loser, a spendthrift or a skinflint, a tower of strength or a doomed alcoholic. Some people, says Berne, have scripts that call for them to fail in their professions, or to be repeatedly disappointed in love, or to be chronic invalids. Here, he demonstrates how each life script gets written, how it works, and how each of us can break free of it to help us attain real autonomy and true fulfillment.

Introducing a groundbreaking approach to understanding human behavior, this book presents Transactional Analysis as a framework for psychiatrists and analysts. Eric Berne, M.D. explores the motivations behind social interactions, offering insights that reshape therapeutic practices. Through this innovative lens, mental health professionals can better comprehend their clients' dynamics, enhancing the effectiveness of psychotherapy.
