Eric Berne wrote eight major books in his lifetime, but the most famous is Games People Play, which he published in 1964. In this book, Berne said that people behave in one of three ways in all transactions. ? Berne grew up in Canada, although his family were from Eastern Europe. Berne’s father was a doctor, and some people say that Berne’s mother encouraged him to study medicine. He trained as a doctor and surgeon, then moved into the field of psychiatry. He applied to become a registered psychoanalyst in 1956 but his application was rejected. Many people believe that this rejection affected him deeply. As a result, he started to develop his own theories of psychoanalysis.
