Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis.
by Eric Berne
Audio CD Mass Market Paperback Hardcover Kindle Edition PaperbackIn "Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis," Eric Berne offers an overview of the theory of transactional analysis, a psychoanalytic approach that emphasizes communication between individuals as a means of understanding problematic behaviors and improving interpersonal relationships. Berne argues that people engage in "games" such as "Why Don't You — Yes But," "Ain't It Awful," and "Let's You and Him Fight," which serve to maintain dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics and reinforce negative self-conceptions. By analyzing these games and developing healthier ways of communicating, individuals can break free from destructive patterns and improve their relationships with others. Berne's work has had a significant impact on the field of psychotherapy and remains a popular resource for individuals seeking to work on their personal growth and relationships.
