This concise workbook provides 30 practical suggestions to help practising counsellors develop and enhance their Transactional Analysis (TA) counselling skills.After a brief introductory section that summarizes the essentials of TA theory and technique, the book covers crucial aspects of best practice in current TA, many of them unavailable in book form until now. Presenting new and wide-ranging material, each of the 30 suggestions - which are supported by useful case examples - encourages both experienced and trainee counsellors to think carefully about their work and how it can be made even more effective. Ian Stewart provides much-needed practical guidance to such key areas as contract-making, time-frames and the Process Model.Developing Transactional Analysis Counselling will be invaluable for trainees who have some knowledge of counselling and psychotherapy, but who do not yet have an extensive working knowledge of the field, as well as for experienced TA practitioners who wish to sharpen up their practical effectiveness.
