Easy to read but very dated.,
By
This review is from: I'm Ok, You're Ok (Paperback)
Discovering Transactional Analysis may well change your life. It certainly changed mine. This book provides a very accessible and readable introduction to transactional analysis. However the book is dangerously out of date. It was written in the 60s and has not been brought up to date. What I found out after reading this book and getting really interested in TA is that in the 60s TA went through a period where it was adopted as a kind of pop-psychology and a number of books were published which are now regarded as over-simplified. Also TA has moved on a lot in the last 30 to 40 years and there are now widely accepted theories and techniques which were not around in the 60s. A much more modern book is TA Today : A New Inroduction to Transactional Analysis,Ian Stewart, Vann Joines . Which I would recommend in preference to this book.

This book will change your life !!,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm OK, You're OK (Paperback)
If you ever feel insecure and worry what others think about you then this is the book for you. Harris explains in simple terms the breakdown of the personality and enables you to understand what makes people the way they are. It would be a shame if people went through life never having had the fortune to comprehend the details in this book. The PAC model is simple and it works.

I'm OK - You're OK,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Ok, You're Ok (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, both as a trainee counsellor and as a human being. It is a good starter to TA and the reader can readily identify with the processes described. It is very out of date, although I think you can read your way around this by bearing in mind it is a product of the 60s.'Staying OK', the sequel written predominantly by Harris' wife, is a good read for those who want to follow up the theory with some practice. It makes entertaining reading, although it is rather more self-help than the self-enlightenment of the original.
