Dr. Eric Berne was a 20th-century psychiatrist who created the theory of transactional analysis as a way of explaining human behavior.

In his astonishing book, psychiatrist Eric Berne reveals both functional and dysfunctional social interactions, exposing some of the rules to avoid them, and the reasons why you should grow up and stop playing them.
