Conceptualizing Ego States in Transactional Analysis
Within this book, Grégoire reviews and extends the founding concepts of ego states in Transactional Analysis, starting with Eric Berne’s foundational thinking about ego states and then examining and integrating the evolution of subsequent models and thinking. The ego state theory describes extensive aspects of human existence, exploring phenomena belonging to very diverse dimensions, for example, the person, their inner being, their relationships, their past and present, amongst many others. A conceptualization of the three ego states is newly presented within this book as systems which are constantly in mutual interaction, each with its specific psychological functions: the Child experiences subjectively, the Parent internalizes aspects of the external family and social worlds, and the Adult allows contact with reality. This complex but necessary process is always in evolution and lasts throughout the phases of growth, permeating every aspect of the internal, external and relational life of the person. The book also further explores emotions, grief, groups, relationships and empathy through the lens of ego state theory. Providing a greater comprehension of Berne’s texts and the multilevel concept of ego states, this book will be a valuable resource for transactional analysts, both in practice and in training.

Existential Perspectives in Transactional Analysis
This book offers experienced practitioners and trainees in psychotherapy and counselling a new, deeply personal and theoretically-grounded perspective on clinical work that integrates existential philosophy and psychotherapy into a relational transactional analysis. The author employs a multidisciplinary perspective grounded in the traditions of Berne’s transactional analysis, whilst providing an easily accessible explanation of existential psychotherapy and the existential givens of life. An innovative theory for the development of the adult self is offered that can be used to understand our human search for meaning and the existential life predicaments we all encounter as adults that may not originate from a difficult childhood. Using moving and personal clinical examples from her extensive professional experience as a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer, the author highlights the different therapeutic skills that can be used when working from this stance, making this a highly practical guide for all practitioners. Whilst predominantly for psychotherapists, counsellors and students on psychotherapy training courses, this will be essential reading for all practitioners working with human beings in groups, education and organisations, as well as those who are new to the principles of existentialism and transactional analysis.
