Synopsis

2015 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Berne is the originator of transactional analysis, which he made famous with his landmark publication "Games People Play." In this work Berne lays the groundwork for a rational method for understanding and analyzing human behavior. "Transactional analysis" (TA), is a theory in psychology that examines the interactions, or 'transactions', between a person and other people. The underlying precept is that humans are social creatures and that a person is a multi-faceted being that changes when in contact with another person in their world. Berne developed the concept and paradigm of TA in the late 1950s and it has gone on to have continuing influence in popular psychology.

About this title

About the Author

D'abord medecin comme son pere, il se tourne vers la psychiatrie et exerce aux Etats-Unis. A partir de 1946 il est psychiatre dans differents hopitaux a San Francisco et ouvre son cabinet de psychanalyste a Carmel, Californie. En 1956, il demande sa reconnaissance comme psychanalyste et il n'est pas accepte. Ce refus sera pour lui un aiguillon pour formaliser sa propre maniere de travailler et ajouter quelque chose de nouveau a la psychanalyse. Ses travaux donneront naissance a l'Analyse transactionnelle.
