GAMES AND GAME ANALYSIS

Have you ever had an interaction in which you and the other person both ended up feeling bad, and afterwards you said to yourself something like:
'Why does this keep on happening to me?'
'How on earth did that happen again?'
'I thought he/she was different from the others, but...'
Did you feel surprised at the painful way things had turned out, yet, at the same time, realize that the same sort of thing had happened to you before ?
If you have had an interaction like this, it's most likely that in T A language you were playing a game.
Just like a game of football or a game of chess, a psychological game is played according to predetermined rules. It was Eric Berne who first drew attention to this predictable structure of games, and suggested ways in which they could be analyzed.
In this chapter, we look at methods of game analysis devised by Berne and other TA writers.

A game is the process of doing something with an ulterior motive that:
(1) is outside of Adult awareness;
(2) does not become explicit until the participants switch the way they are behaving; and
(3) results in everyone feeling confused, misunderstood, and
wanting to blame the other person.'

Formula G

Berne discovered that every game goes through a sequence of six stages. He named them as follows:

Con + Gimmick = Response ->Switch ->Crossup ->Payoff

or just using their initials:

C + G = R -> 5 -> X -> P
