I'm Ok, You're OK

Another old academic book that I have read for a second time is entitled 'I'm Ok- You're Ok' A Practical Guide to Transactional Analysis' by Thomas A. Harris, MD. The general idea of this book is that we all have a Parent, Adult, and Child image in all of us and it is how we see ourselves in each of these scenarios of living life. Throughout this book even though it is somewhat outdated with some of the historical artifacts he mentions as Vietnam and the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and a few other political and social issues. It is still useful and gives a person a chance to work through who and how they feel personality wise. There are four of these:

I'm Ok- You're Not okay

I'm Not Okay- You're Not Okay

I'm Not Okay-You're Okay

I'm Okay-You're Okay (this is the one we are to be).
