Psychological games impact personal and professional relationships from "summary" of Games People Play by Eric Berne, MD
The impact of psychological games on personal and professional relationships is profound. These games are often subtle and manipulative, creating a dynamic where individuals are unknowingly engaging in power struggles and hidden agendas. These games can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and ultimately, damaged relationships. In personal relationships, psychological games can manifest in various ways. For example, one common game is the "If It Weren't For You" game, where one person blames the other for their own unhappiness or shortcomings. This game creates a toxic dynamic where neither party takes responsibility for their actions, leading to resentment and conflict.- In professional relationships, psychological games can hinder effective communication and collaboration. For instance, the "See What You Made Me Do" game can occur when a colleague deflects blame onto others to avoid taking accountability for their mistakes. This game can erode trust and teamwork within a professional setting, ultimately impacting productivity and morale.
