The adult is parent to the child : transactional analysis with children and young people /
Tudor, Keith,1955-
Transactional analysis (TA) is a well-established and evolving way of understanding what happens between and within people. This comprehensive, helpful volume: demonstrates in many settings the use of TA with children and young people; brings a contemporary view of TA to those who specialise in its use with them; and explains TA's possibilities to others whose work focuses on their lives, well-being, care and treatment of children and young people. The introduction presents fundamental TA concepts, allowing anyone who works with children and young people to see how TA can assist both their own work and work done in partnership with therapists. Opportunities are then provided to explore the role of TA in therapeutic practice in the contexts both of children's and young people's environments, and of evolving TA theory. Contributions from experienced TA practitioners - educators, psychotherapists, organisational consultants - provide the most comprehensive current account of the art and science of TA with children and young people. It locates TA's therapeutic, educational and organisational work with them firmly on the maps of both current practice and training, for TA practitioners and all others who work with children and young people.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
