From the Back Cover
Transactional Analysis delineates three observable ego-states (Parent, Adult, and Child) as the basis for the content and quality of interpersonal communication. "Happy childhood" notwithstanding, says Harris, most of us are living out the Not ok feelings of a defenseless child, dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a "position" about ourselves and others that determines how we feel about everything we do. And for a huge portion of the population, that position is "I'm Not OK -- You're OK." This negative "life position," shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational Adult capabilities, leaving us vulnerable to inappropriate emotional reactions of our Child and uncritically learned behavior programmed into our Parent. By exploring the structure of our personalities and understanding old decisions, Harris believes we can find the freedom to change our lives.

Harris introduced the field of transactional analysis as a major innovation and alternative to the slow and limited results of practical psychiatry. He combined the neurosurgical results of Penfield with those of Eric Berne. sees great merit in the ability of TA to define basic units through which human behaviour can be analysedthe 'strokes' that are given and received in a 'transaction' between two or more peopleand a standardised language for describing those strokes. This readily understood standardisation, and the association Harris develops between TA and Penfield's neuroscience, gave TA a degree of credibility not possessed by earlier abstract models such as that developed by Freud.
