Games People Play

Eric Berne

Games People Play examines how ordinary social exchanges become recurring games with hidden motives and payoffs. It asks what people gain from these patterns, how ego states and transactions sustain them across relationships, and whether awareness, spontaneity, and intimacy can help people recognize and move beyond inherited social programming.
