BEYOND WORDS: Navigating Human Interactions Through Transactional Analysis

Effective communication sits at the heart of every relationship. Beyond Words: Navigating Human Interactions Through Transactional Analysis gives you practical tools to recognise what goes on in conversations, understand why patterns repeat, and change them for the better. Drawing on Transactional Analysis (TA), a psychological theory and therapeutic framework, the book turns complex ideas into everyday skills you can use at home, at work, and in community life. It is accessible, rigorous, and filled with real-world applications and exercises. Structured for learning and application, the chapters cover the empirical foundations of TA, ego states and behavioural styles, strategic communication, scripts, life positions, discounting, strokes, and game analysis. The approach is practical and deeply humane, showing how personal insights and small shifts in dialogue can unlock growth for individuals, teams, and organisations. This essential guide is especially relevant and useful for counsellors, coaches, educators, leaders, and anyone who wants conversations that create understanding, accountability, and change.
