Lieuwe Koopmans (2017) This is me! Becoming who you are using Transactional Analysis Hertford: Sherwood Publishing - 118 pages pbk/ebookReviewed by Cathy McQuaid Citation - APA format:McQuaid, C. (2018). Psychological Boundaries and Psychological Bridges: A Categorisation and the Application of Transactional Analysis Concepts. International Journal of Transactional Analysis Research & Practice, 9(1), 82-84. https://doi.org/10.29044/v9i1p82
Highlights
I noted that the book comes with endorsements from within the TA community: a Foreword by Julie Hay TSTA (Organisational, Psychotherapy, Educational) and back cover endorsements by Trudi Newton TSTA (Educational), Sandra Wilson TSTA (Organisational) and Graeme Summers CTA (Psychotherapy)
There are ‘Sources of Inspiration’ for those who want to learn more, a brief introduction to the history of TA with information on training in TA, a useful glossary of TA concepts, and ‘proper’ references back to originators for the TA and non-TA concepts mentioned in the book
The Prologue begins with three brief cameos, Carl, Caroline and Christine, illustrating how each tell something of their life story, something that has previously been hidden from others, and the response that they get from the ‘other’
Summary
I noted that the book comes with endorsements from within the TA community: a Foreword by Julie Hay TSTA (Organisational, Psychotherapy, Educational) and back cover endorsements by Trudi Newton TSTA (Educational), Sandra Wilson TSTA (Organisational) and Graeme Summers CTA (Psychotherapy). Koopmans uses himself throughout the book, via his own personal stories or through his work with his clients. The book is structured like a play, with acts, chapters and numerous players, including the reader, and with a Prologue, First Act, Second Act, etc.
