Games People Play

In 1964 Eric Berne wrote the book Games People Play.  It is still in print.

Human beings get into 'stuff' with each other - some trivial or mildly upsetting, to some with disasterous consequences.

These dynamics can be played out within personal relationships, or within teams and individuals in a workplace setting.  The result can be a loss of productivity, a loss of good staff and/or a loss of wellbeing.
