I'm OK – You're OK
(Harper & Row, 1967) Harris, Thomas A.
This is a popular self-help book that introduces the concepts of Transactional Analysis (TA), a psychological method for understanding human behavior and interactions. The book explains that people's feelings and behaviors are influenced by three primary ego states: Parent, Adult, and Child. Harris explains how these ego states interact in interpersonal relationships, often resulting in feelings of inferiority or superiority. The book helps readers understand how they can shift to a more balanced and healthy way of interacting by adopting an "I'm OK, you're OK" attitude, which promotes equality and mutual respect in relationships. It emphasizes self-awareness and psychological growth, encouraging individuals to take control of their emotional responses and foster healthier, more constructive communication patterns.
