Product Description

Product Description
Using a basis of transactional analysis, this text takes models used by psychotherapists worldwide, converts them into terms that can be more easily understood and relates them specifically to what happens at work. Drawing on examples from a broad spread of organizations, it shows how the reader might use these theories to interpret the dynamics between people and make better choices about responses. Aiming to expand the reader's range of options, this work uses some self-awareness activities to help eliminate unhelpful patterns from the past and replace them with resourceful new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Working it out at work - Julie Hay, 17 Mar 2003
By A Customer
A good introduction to how Transactional Analysis can be used in the workplace. It takes you through the basic ideas of TA and illustrates the concepts with real examples taken from the workplace that really aid understanding. It suggests exercises that you can do to apply TA to how you operate in the workplace (but these can easily be extended to how you operate outside of work). As with most TA approaches, it's empowering and allows you to see how you can make changes to your style and situation and reminds you to keep these changes manageable. The way it describes key concepts in TA is very clear and there are diagrams to illustrate throughout the book. One point of confusion for me was the way the 'Life Positions' were named. Using IOKYOK and INOKYNOK rather than the +- and -- convention I was used to. Personally , I find the latter convention (such as that used in TA Today by Ian Stewart and Vann Joines) to be much more accessible. Also, I'd say the writing style of Stewart and Joines seems to flow more and is superior as an introductory textbook to TA. This book is very readable though and is great if you're new to TA and particularly like how TA can be used in organisations. Definitely one to add to the collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy and detailed, but short on underlying fundamentals, 29 Mar 2009
By Tim "unbounded" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Overall I found this book heavy going. If you have plenty of time and are fastidious when reading books, and can store lots in your head, then this is ideal. However it did not suit my style of learning, where there are other books which are fairly light, and tend to deal with underlying principles and well as application. Although I understood the windows of "I'm OK, You're OK" and the different permutations, to fully understood it proved very difficult to then apply in each chapter.
