This innovative book presents state-of-the-art thinking on using transactional analysis (TA) to change the structure, relationships and culture in organizations.
The book is arranged according to the three levels of organizations described by Eric Berne – the structural, interpersonal and psychodynamic levels – and the chapters expand on his concepts at each level. With contributions by an international range of authors, incorporating a selection of practical case studies, the book illuminates key themes including group and team dynamics, psychological safety, emotion and, most foundationally, boundaries.
Exploring the tensions of boundaries that can determine both the stability of a system as well as its innovative potential, this book provides a strong structural framework for TA coaches, consultants and analysts, as well as other professionals working with and within organizations.
‘New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is an important, contemporary collection of chapters that - contrary to its title – is placing TA contribution at the heart of OD practice. Coming out for publication in the midst of one of the most turbulent periods of recent times, it will offer some stability in its sense-making of organizational and development practice which we all need.’
Dr. Eliat Aram, CEO,The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, UK
"As New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is a book focused on innovation of organizational TA, we also asked a newer TA organisational generation from different countries to write a sentence or two why this book is important for TA and for the organizational field. An impressive synergy of thought leaders in the field of TA in organizations that inspire us to innovate our approach to organizations, leaders and teams."
Danijela Djuric, Growth Code Consultant
"In the 60’s, Berne geniously connected the individual and the collective dimension inside a single theorical approach. If human beings barely changed since then, organiszations have transformed very deeply. This wonderful book pushes "BOT" towards the 21st century. BRAVO!"
Olivier BETTACH, Executive coach and method actor, Paris, France.
"The book opens your eyes on the resources of agile organizations which are able to use a "negative ability", the ability to "be" (and not to "do") in uncertainty, remaining impassive, facing absence or loss of meaning, without wanting at all costs and quickly to reach results and certainties."
Rossella Iannucci, Head of Internal Coaching Academy Intesa Sanpaolo Group
"It's been said many times that organisations are heading into crisis over and over again. The research into how Transactional Analysis can help leaders make practical choices is growing: this book is at the cutting edge and is a must read for anyone that's serious about effective leadership through volatile times".
