New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations：On the Edge

This innovative book presents state-of-the-art thinking on using transactional analysis to change the structure, relationships and culture in organisations. Actual and sustainable change starts where people dare to work on the edge. The book is arranged according to the three levels of organizations described by Dr 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.
