Dr. Eric Berne - Games People Play - The Theory Part 2

From a 1966 NET Science broadcast special on Dr. Eric Berne's wildly successful book Games People Play. The author interviews Dr. Berne at his home in Carmel where Dr. Berne explains the theory behind Transactional Analysis. One of few videos with sound of the genius Dr. Berne before his untimely dealth in 1970.

Eric Berne was one of the first books I read on psychology before I went to University to study psychology... it was hands down the most comprehensive, profound and powerful information on psychology I ever read, nothing in all my years at Uni (4 years) came close to it...

Crazy how I'm just finding out about this info today, June 20th, 2024. This interview was recorded 19 years before I was born lmao but hey, more relevant today than ever!!

Happy to watch him in person, my favourite author!

[@denisepoisson2907]

Thanks for posting this . It's like being transported back in time. Great gem.

[@BrahmMemone]

Simply an awesome and rare video of Eric Berne. What is a racket and what is a transaction!! Thank you for posting this very important video.

[@cs082746]

Eric was one of those special people in my life whom I encountered and whose heart and compassion remains with me forever, and because of whom I have experienced a kind of freedom in knowing him and learning from him.

[@Heightofacloud]

How so?

[@rezatehrani5787]

Godbless him;he made very simple modle for knowing ourselves and our transctions and others people for mankind and timeless.

Thank you, Dear. It was great listening to Eric Berne and his talk on Games. it would be wonderful let him discuss Scripts, What Do you Say after you say Hello. it would be wonderful to listen even to Claude Stiner, and James joiner

4:00 that Violet car is huge! 😃
Games people play is my favourite book even though I don't understand it yet 😂

[@davidhallett5900]

I want to know how they strapped the cameraman on the front of the convertible. It's definitely not on another vehicle!

[@kasiawalczak5773]

I thought about the same thing!

[@moreapropos]

More than likely, they hooked a rig to the front of the car, and you can see, it is not stable as the camera is moving. The car is too small for a camera person to be on the front of the car. You can see the camera's shadow as the car is making turns. They used an actual motion picture camera. No video back then. The camera is so shaky that at first I thought a car was following in front of them, but then when the car turns, you can clearly see the camera's shadow on the hood of the car. But my quess is the wind is causing it to shake.

Funny how the presenter start asking about those sick alcoholic people and just pulls off a cigarette 😂

[@michaelsofine]

I don’t think anyone has ever beaten their wife over a cigarette. Usually people go see a psychiatrist because someone else has a problem with them. And everybody smoked in the 60s. Even today some people still don’t have a problem with it and on some podcasts they say nicotine has brain boosting effects. I still wouldn’t touch the stuff because one of my grandmas died of lung cancer and cigarettes are relatively expensive so I’m told because of how government taxes them now.

[@michaelsofine]

Everybody’s a psychiatrist if you interact (transact) with people. But Eric Berne managed to make a living by not complicating it and so that everybody can see the psychiatrist in them and in others.

[@vibeactvst8686]

Talking about alcoholism while he lights a cigarette is interesting lol

[@IreneLaMagra]

"The six ways of structuring time are: rituals, pasttimes, activities, games, intimacy, and, if all else fails, withdrawal"... Well, I don't even try, I withdraw immediately in most transactions :D

[@lifesciences6981]

lol.

[@treasuryresearch3608]

The sound on this needs to be cleaned up.. seriously.
Can anybody do this?
Its a valuable record of Beirnes contribution to psycology

[@simonmanning1844]

I wonder how they filmed it. Very clever for a "low budget" interview

[@OnslowThurston]

Never mind. The narrator clarified. So "work" maybe is an "activity".

[@michaelsofine]

My favorite psychiatrist. Helps me enormously. Like religion I now understand the importance of not pushing his theory on people though.

[@DefaultName-bn1ut]

I think activities and work are a combined interaction when I listened to the video :)

[@OnslowThurston]

Question: Dr. Berne says that there are only 6 ways that people interact with one another, but then he seems to go on to list 7 (withdrawal, rituals, activities, work, pasttimes, games and intimacy). I'm assuming I'm in error. What are the 6?

[@0utd00rsy]

OnslowThurston all those that you’ve listed minus withdrawal?

[@moreapropos]

You've got them minus work.

[@katieward5657]

Does any one know when this was filmed? Thanks

[@vs-cd6qq]

[@dejanmarkovic3040]

Coughs and says Pardon, but never mind the fact that they're riding in a convertible while speaking :D

[@easybullet3]

nice, but so much background noise (driving, sea waves), its a bit distracting
