This groundbreaking book delves into the very essence of what makes humans unique, providing a comprehensive guide to restoring this essence when it has been lost or weakened within a therapeutic group setting characterized by solidarity and intimacy. The deterioration of self-offering, an initially expansive and trusting attitude towards affectivity and love, is particularly triggered by disappointments in primary relationships. Individuals suffer when they fail to evolve according to the nature of their species, as they are fragile and delicate beings in their early years. Therapeutic work, therefore, focuses primarily on reactivating the original natural drives within a supportive group environment, creating a new welcoming family. This process involves granting new permissions, engaging in new trials, and experiencing joyful experiences.

The book offers valuable methods and techniques that the author has routinely employed, accompanied by two case studies that have been meticulously transcribed and thoughtfully commented on, with a specific emphasis on reactivating the affective drive. This resource is of immense value to transactional analysts in both practice and training, as well as to professionals interested in the theory and practice of transactional analysis. Piccinino's writing style is engaging and accessible, making the content accessible to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of human processes and promote well-being.

In conclusion, Revitatlization Through Transactional Analysis Group Treatment is a seminal work that offers a profound exploration of the human condition. By providing a roadmap for restoring the lost essence of humanity within a therapeutic group context, this book empowers individuals to overcome challenges and thrive. It is a valuable resource for transactional analysts, professionals, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of human development and well-being.
