Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships

Before you is one of the foundational cult books on the psychology of human relationships. The system developed by Berne is designed to free individuals from the influence of life scripts that program their behavior, teach them to play less in relationships with themselves and others, achieve true freedom, and encourage personal growth. In this book, the reader will find many useful tips that will help understand the nature of human communication, the motives behind their own and others' actions, and the reasons for conflicts. According to the author, each person's fate is largely determined in early childhood, but in adulthood, it can be recognized and managed by the individual if they so desire. It was with the publication of this international bestseller in our country that the "psychological boom" began, when millions of people suddenly realized that psychology could be incredibly interesting, and that it could help them understand much about themselves and others.
