Eric Berne's position in transactional analysis is equivalent to that of Freud in psychoanalysis or Carl Rogers in humanistic psychology.
All of his books and articles have been accepted by psychotherapists as innovative ideas and innovative treatment approaches since the early 1950s when he presented the theory of transactional analysis, and their practical treatment and application have been verified.
A prominent thinker, innovator, and therapist in the field of psychotherapy, this book was in preparation for publication until his death in the early 1970s, but was not actually published until 1972.
This book follows his many publications on transactional analytic approaches and describes new developments in clinical and theoretical fields, particularly the rapid progress in script analysis.
Traditional psychotherapy is often difficult to communicate due to the use of three different languages.
Despite criticism of 'oversimplification,' the author tries to communicate by avoiding such methods as much as possible.
A script is a life plan and blueprint for directing a drama, and it determines a person's fate.
This book deals specifically with 'script' in transactional analysis theory.
It systematically understands how fate is determined and provides clear explanations on how to change fate.
