5.0 out of 5 stars It dissects your mind to reveal your dark side., May 18, 1999

This review is from: What Do You Say after You Say Hello? (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the best book that I have ever read on the subject of pschotherapy.It shows how `parental influence' becomes your conscience and determines your destiny and ultimately what is written on the epitaph of your tomb.The illusion that a human being is a free, autonomous creature is shattered. One need not find this distressing as there is hope.To find out more read it, go through it again, unwind the tape on which the holes have been punched to make your program (Life script) and possibly try to reprogram yourself! Not a easy task, mind you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transactional Analysis treasure, March 20, 2003

This review is from: What Do You Say After You Say Hello (Mass Market Paperback)

This masterpiece, from the writer of "Games People Play" as well as several other books dealing with the subject of interpersonal relationships, is excellent in its presentation and scope. The late author, Dr. Eric Berne, guides the reader through a clear understanding of how we inter-relate with others, as well as ourselves. His depth of understanding of the "human condition", presented with eloquent wit and charm, make this a volume that is difficult to put down. Dr. Berne's approach and skills at explanation make this a must read for anyone interested in this area of psychology. While the book could very well be used as a college text, the language is straight-forward and clear for professional or layman, alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent study of human relationships, August 7, 1998

This review is from: What Do You Say after You Say Hello? (Mass Market Paperback)

"What do you say after you say hello" is a brilliant book by Dr. Berne, concentrating on transactional analysis and the way people relate to each other, specifically the unhealthy patterns they fall into when dealing with a spouse, mate or relative. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in analytical psychology, or human relationships in general.
