A brief history of TA is followed by individual chapters on the concepts and techniques used. Models and diagrams assist the textual explanations. Each chapter is devoted to one concept and includes a detailed definition and description, specific advice on application, which includes a clinical example, and practice exercises for both counsellor and client.
