Transactional analysis of schizophrenia : the naked self
Mellacqua, Zefiro2020
Books
Zefiro Mellacqua presents a full assessment of the relevance and value of transactional analysis in understanding, conceptualising and treating schizophrenia in contemporary clinical settings. Opening with a review of Eric Berne's ideas, Mellacqua applies theory to the understanding and psychotherapeutic treatment of people suffering from first-episode schizophrenia and to those already living with more long-lasting psychotic levels of self-disturbance. The chapters address a series of crucial methodological themes. Mellacqua's approach incorporates meetings with family and caregivers, as well as emphasising multidisciplinary work with patients in a variety of settings. The book is illustrated with engaging clinical case studies throughout, which illuminate the schizophrenic experience and provide examples of how these tools can be used to help patients.
