Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy: A Systematic Individual and Social Psychiatry

Description

At the beginning published in 1961, this book outlines a new, unified system of individual and social psychiatry that were introduced in the US around that time with remarkable success in more than a few hospitals and other psychiatric establishments. Essentially designed for group therapy, this approach is now used by institutions, group workers, and in private practice with neurotics, psychotics, sexual psychopaths, psychosomatic cases, and adolescents.

Transactional analysis begins its program by initiating the individual patients into the theory upon which the remedy is based. First attaining a measure of self-knowledge through private sessions with the analyst, the patient then meets with other patients in group therapy, participating in a series of individually meaningful relation-ships in which he becomes more and more conscious about the cause and nature of his illness, preparing at the same time to triumph over it.

“A comprehensive method of remedy that has no precedent in its concreteness of structure without at the same time diminishing the dynamic quality of the remedy….Nobody to my knowledge has presented this kind of new approach.”—Dr. Milton Schwebel, Professor of Education, New York University
