Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

We think were relating to other people–but actually were all playing games.

Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Bernes classic is as astonishing–and revealing–as it was on the day it was first published. This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Dr. James R. Allen, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and Kurt Vonneguts brilliant Life magazine review from 1965.

We play games all the time–sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like “Martini” (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like “If It Werent For You” and “Uproar,” to flirtation favorites like “The Stocking Game” and “Lets You and Him Fight,” Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives.

Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. Its as powerful and eye-opening as ever.

Synopsis:

The originator of transactional analysis delivers this groundbreaking book that bores deep into the heart of all relationships. Here, Dr. Eric Berne uncovers the "secret games" individuals play in their lives.

Thirty years ago when I was an analytical psychological student, this book became my bible. It was helpful every day, sometimes several times a day. Frequently in the years since, some of Berne's wisdom has surfaced when I needed it most. I've often wished for my old copy, and I'm delighted to see a new edition with new commentaries.
