ABSTRACT
Transactional Analysis was developed in the late 1950s by Eric Berne, an American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who died in 1970 and whose 100th birthday was celebrated in 2010. It is a major task of trainers, psychotherapists, business consultants, or occupational psychologists to develop deep, significant practice in order to make human relationships better, the world a friendlier place, and social relationships healthier and more ecological. There are clinical psychologists among us—psychotherapists, counsellors—and also business psychologists, who use Transactional Analysis as an instrument to improve the well-being of organisations. The Human Condition is a book that was appreciated belatedly, a book from the end of the 1950s, the time when Berne was beginning to write and to define Transactional Analysis as a separate dimension, a daughter of psychoanalysis but developed autonomously. Being alive and spiritual creatures, human beings cannot live in complete rest.
