Why have I written this Book
Transactional Analysis Theory and Practice
I was introduced to Transactional Analysis in 1971. I read two books then: I'm OK, You're OK by Thomas Harris and Games People Play by Eric Berne. I used the knowledge I gained from reading these books to understand human interactions and human relationships. I cleared the 'Bachelors' course in Transactional Analysis conducted by ICTA, Kochi in 2007. I have spent the past 12 years implementing TA for my personal growth and development. I have also spent my time to understand the nuances of TA concepts, ideas and theoretical constructs.
Part I of this book presents Transactional Analysis theory. Part II contains a set of practices meant to achieve improved awareness, capacity to progressively make new choices to live a better life, freedom from thinking, feeling and emotional lock-jams, capacity for decision making and problem solving, game free interactions and script free living. Six sets of gain areas are listed in the table appearing below. Part III contains a list of topics typically covered in a training course, details about fields of specialisation for TA Practitioners, a list of TA EBM Award winners, References and Notes and a list of books on TA.  


This book is a tribute to the founder of TA, Eric Berne and to Fr. George Kandathil SJ who brought TA to India and trained the first set of TA experts who have made a name for themselves in the international TA community.
I hope readers will benefit from the new ways I have developed to gain the goals of TA by implementing self-therapy laid down in Part II of this book.
I welcome you, the reader to this enterprise of mine.
