A must read for any psychotherapist in training, especially TA. Widdowson beautifully summarizes the human (and therapist) condition with the following quote from the book:
,,The realization that there is no predetermined or inherent meaning in life or about life is a common source of suffering for of a clients. Meaning cannot be given or created—it is something each individual must discover for themselves. One of the tasks of a psychotherapist may precisely be to help clients find their own meaning and purpose, just as we did when we chose our vocation of healing and serving others".

Absolutely fundamental if you are a trainee in Transactional Analysis. Widdowson is very generous sharing his thoughts and critiques of several theories and schools of TA. Brilliant
