Claude Steiner

About the Author

Claude Steiner, a pioneering psychologist and author, was born in Paris in 1935 and later became a prominent figure in the field of transactional analysis, a therapeutic approach developed by his mentor Eric Berne. Steiner's work explores the psychological scripts that shape human behavior from childhood, offering insights into how these unconscious patterns influence relationships, success, and personal fulfillment. With a background in clinical psychology and Gestalt therapy, he emigrated to the United States, where he practiced and taught extensively, emphasizing emotional literacy and autonomy. His accessible writing bridges complex theories with everyday life, empowering readers to rewrite limiting scripts for greater freedom and connection. Steiner's contributions continue to influence psychotherapy and self-help literature worldwide.
