That's exactly what makes this so hard to see.In 1964, psychiatrist Eric Berne published Games People Play — a book that described the hidden sequences running beneath most human relationships. He called them games. Not playful ones. Concealed strategies with a hidden motive and a predictable payoff.The games aren't played by cruel people. They're played by ordinary, well-meaning people — who have no idea they're playing them.
