Transactional Analysis Counselling
Bringing their book into the twenty-first century, the authors provide a brief history of TA followed by individual chapters on the concepts and techniques used. Each chapter is devoted to one concept and includes a detailed definition and description, and suggestions for application in practice. Exercises for student, practitioner and client, boxed summaries, diagrams, checklists and sources of further reading make this the ideal text for use in training.
This is an excellent book for students on a counselling skills course. There is a good mix of theory and practice examples for students to apply to their work settings. The book is a good comprehensive resource of TA materials and techniques that students will be able to dip into and integrate to practice, as a theory base and understanding interactions. T A can be applied as an analysis and framework for course work assignments when reflecting on counselling practice in the work setting.
