Thomas A. Harris was a psychiatrist best known for his 1967 book, "I'm OK – You're OK," which explores human behavior and relationships through the lens of transactional analysis. He emphasized that people can develop healthier interactions by understanding their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as those of others.
