Eric Berne

Dr. Eric Berne was a 20th-century psychiatrist who created the theory of transactional analysis as a way of explaining human behavior. This led him to publish his bestseller “Games People Play,” the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. He authored over 30 books and articles, including “Principles of Group Treatment,” “A Layman’s Guide to Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis,” and “What Do You Say After You Say Hello?” He died in 1970.
