Features: As the founder of transactional analysis theory, Eric Berne added a creative chapter to the development of contemporary psychotherapy. In 1961, the publication of his book "Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy" laid the foundation for the transactional analysis movement. In 1964, "Games People Play" became a bestseller in the United States, greatly increasing the popularity of transactional analysis. Berne believed that games in communication are a major reason for people's feelings of frustration and mutual harm. Berne was a meticulous psychologist who collected various games that occur in daily life, categorizing them into dozens of types such as life games, marriage games, party games, sexual games, underground games, consulting room games, and good games based on different contexts. He named, explained, analyzed, and studied them one by one, allowing readers to gain a clearer understanding of themselves, their communication partners, or their life partners through these games.
