Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Emotional Literacy
Claude Steiner · 2003
67/100
👎 Skip It
Claude Steiner brings decades of Transactional Analysis work to bear and the three-stage structure is genuinely clear and usable, making this a solid choice for therapists and coaches who already work in a TA framework. For general readers without that background, the TA-specific vocabulary creates friction and the limited mainstream reception suggests it has not broken through the way more accessible EQ books have.
