Published in 1961, this book presents TA not just as a theory but as a practical method of therapy, offering insights into the dynamics of human behavior. Berne introduces concepts such as ego states, which categorize communication and behavior into parent-like, child-like, or adult-like forms, and "strokes," which are units of interpersonal recognition.

Que se passe-t-il dans la tête d’un psy ? Ce journal croisé entre Irvin Yalom et sa patiente éclaire les mécanismes de la thérapie et le chemin de la guérison. Lorsque Ginny Elkin, jeune écrivaine prometteuse mais très perturbée, vient le consulter, le Dr Yalom, pour encourager sa patiente à écrire, trouve une tout autre approche de la thérapie que ses confrères : Ginny, qui n’a pas d’argent, paiera ses séances avec des écrits, tandis que le thérapeute consignera, lui aussi, ses notes impressionnistes et non cliniques après chaque séance. Guérir à deux voix est l’aboutissement littéraire de ce pacte.
