Ways of Development of Transactional Analysis in both organizational and individual areas
Abstract
My review of Gunther Mohr's book «Individual and Organizational TA in the 21st century» is compiled in such a way that describes the most important, in my opinion, issues that the author raised. I tried to write a review as if I was just starting to get acquainted with TA. In a high-tempo environment in modern society, the review is small, but capacious. I hope my subjective view will be useful to those who want to know what analysis in psychology is.
