Translator disclaimer

The author presents an overview of the theory and processes involved in transactional analysis and shows that it is characterized above all by a creative combination of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy. He describes how transactional analysis emphasizes a contractual orientation as well as a decisional orientation, insight as well as behavioral change, and therapeutic processes that encourage corrective emotional experiences.
