Description: Vol. 1. "This program demonstrates the making of contracts, specific agreements for growth and change between therapist and client. These are the beginning stage of many transactional analysis groups. Muriel James creates an atmosphere of safety to interact with group members. She helps them clarify what they need to do to get what they want. In formulating self-contracts, they review events in their past, recognize the elements of the present they need to change, and plan how to act in order to achieve more successful futures."--Container.

Vol. 2. "This program demonstrates permissions, the forging of therapeutic alliances. Fanita English confronts racketeering transactions and supports self-possession and creative expression."--Container.

Vol. 3. "This program focuses on the significance of strokes, the positive recognition or love that people need for their well-being. Therapist Claude Steiner shows group members how to resist their Critical Parent's negative messages by giving each other and themselves strokes. Phil reaffirms his grasp of earlier work alleviating his despair. When Terri realizes she has felt undeserving to be alive, she asks for and receives wanted strokes. Lois gets support in overcoming her embarrassment to declare that she is indeed important. By disclaiming responsibility for bad things that happen around her, Sally confronts parental injunctions. Jeanne believes she has broken out in hives as result of opening to her feelings of grief."--Container.

Vol. 4. "This program illustrates transactional analysis-redecision therapy to help clients change thoughts, emotions, or behaviors in order to free them from the restraints of old decisions. Therapist Mary Goulding also facilitates closure for group participants. Touching Jean releases her grief and her hives disappear. Lois creates a more effective inner Parent for her Child. Rick discovers his parents' injunction Don't Be Excited! and redecides to express his natural exuberance. To conclude, Mary responds to questions from the audience about the work they have seen."--Container.
