Book description
Do you realise you, and all the people you know, play games? All the
time? Sexual games, marital games, complex games that you re not even
aware of as you go about your usual life? You might play games like
Alcoholic or The Frigid Woman' at weekends, or perhaps 'Ain't it
awful' or Kick me while you re at work.
First published in the 1960s and recognized as a classic work of its
kind by professionals, the bestselling Games People Play is also an
accessible and fascinating read. It is a wise, original, witty and
very sensible analysis of the games we play in order to live with one
another and with ourselves.
Dr Berne's other works include 'The Structure and Dynamics of
Organisations and Groups' (1963), in which he discussed the application
of transactional analysis to group dynamics; 'Principles of Group
Treatment' (1966); 'A Layman's Guide to Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis'
(1968); and 'What Do Yo Say After You Say Hello?', written shortly
before his death in 1970.
