"Games People Play is a very useful analysis of interpersonal dynamics. Some of the "games" people play are The Martyr, Look What You Made Me Do, Let's You and Him Fight, Look How Hard I've Tried, and my personal favorite, I've Got You Now You Son of a Bitch. This book is good introduction to Transactional Analysis and a valuable resource for psychology students and counselors."
"Thematically, the book is useful. However, I found the views very dated and somewhat pessimistic. I think there are other authors out there that have defined these issues better and can relate them in a more positive manner."
"I read this book because of the references to it in "Payback" by Margaret Atwood. It is an introduction to transactional analysis for a lay audience. It is well written but needs to be read in context. The preface in my edition was extremely important because it discussed how the book was groundbreaking but not the final state for this type of analysis. It has evolved as research has either confirmed or refuted some aspects. A great read for the amateur psychologist in all of us."
"This book was first published in 1964, when, I am pleased to say, I was but a child. However, I do remember hearing about it (probably due to a song that came out later based loosely on it). There are some things that are still relevant, but the language used is dated. The vernacular in the U.S. is certainly different now than it was 45 years ago, so an massive update would be in order before it could be of any benefit to the present generations. However, there are more "games" than ever going on in our world and it's amazing how many we use each and every day of our lives."
