Steiner''' (6 January 1935 &ndash; 9 January 2016) was a French-born American [[psychotherapist]] and writer. He wrote about [[transactional analysis]] (TA). His writings have focused especially on [[Script Analysis|life scripts]], [[alcoholism]], [[emotional literacy]], and interpersonal power plays. In the 1970s and '80s, Steiner was a founder and practitioner of Radical Psychiatry, a new approach to psychotherapy based in a [[social theory]] (of alienation) rather than a medical one (of individual pathology). Influenced by progressive movements of the time, work in this modality continues into the present and is gaining recent recognition worldwide.
