Description
Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis by Eric Berne Forty years on, Dr. Eric Berne's groundbreaking book remains a powerful and eye-opening exploration of our most basic social interactions. We often think we're relating to others, but in reality, we're all playing games. This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Dr. James R. Allen, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and a review from 1965 by Kurt Vonnegut. Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives, from status contests to lethal couples combat. He reveals the "Martini" game, where we try to one-up each other, and "Let's You and Him Fight", a flirtation favorite. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding human relationships and behavior. With its enduring relevance and originality, Games People Play continues to be widely recognized as a pioneering work in popular psychology.
