[Summary] In "Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships,” Eric Berne explains a theory of social interactions called Transactional Analysis (TA). It explores the different ways that people communicate and interact with each other. Berne argues that most social interactions involve "games", which are patterned sequences of behavior with hidden ulterior motives. The text examines the dynamics of these games, their various types, and their impact on individuals and relationships. The author provides a framework for analyzing these games and offers strategies for dealing with them.
