Media Reviews
Lays down the principles of transactional analysis in practical schematic terms which often makes them sound improbably, almost quaint in their simplicity... Its simplicity is one of its most attractive features. * New Psychiatry *
Eric Berne is always refreshing... a very suitable introduction. * Journal of Analytical Psychology *
A clear detailed account of the theory and practice of Transactional Analysis and of its relationship to psychoanalysis which he likens to that of an apple to its core. * New Society *

Author's Bio
Eric Berne (May 10, 1910 - July 15, 1970) was a Canadian-born psychiatrist who created the theory of transactional analysis as a way of explaining human behaviour. Berne's theory of transactional analysis was based on the ideas of Freud but was distinctly different. Freudian psychotherapists focused on talk therapy as a way of gaining insight to their patient's personalities. Berne believed that insight could be better discovered by analysing patients' social transactions. Berne was the first psychiatrist to apply game theory to the field of psychiatry.
