Transactional Analysis The Four Ego-States Model

Rate this book
"The object ... is to make the dynamics of the human mind tangible to those who are more interested in understanding nature than in using big words or memorizing definitions. Eric Berne - 1947 - The Mind in Action." This book is meant to be the introduction to the four ego states employed in the Applied Method of Transactional Analysis developed to enhance and further the works of Berne, Harris, and Goulding. This Four Ego-States Model is built on the foundation of the original concept and true to the legacy of the founders of TA. If you are one of the thousands of people who are struggling to know yourself, or to find an appropriate and practical methodology to use in coaching or counseling or just for yourself, you can discover how easy TA can be. This four-circle model was developed based on Jut Meininger's work with real people in real world situations. While there are many fine books written by outstanding psychotherapists who carry Berne’s work forward using the three-circle model, as a practical businessman and coach, Jut found that his clients wanted a more applicable tool to work with to maximize the brilliance of Berne’s original ideas. With Goulding's blessings, Jut went on to a career that culminated in this model of TA.This is your first introduction to the decades of development by Jut Meininger and Danna G. Hallmark that explains for the first time the Four Parts of YOU from which all scripts, games, and ego-state activities develop.See more of their work at
