This book is a humorous guide introducing you to Games such as: -Monster in the Village -LSWBT (Lets See Who Blows Their Top ) -B.S.E. (Blame Somebody Else) -Mind Reader (AKA: You Should Have Known, Veruca Salt) -I.R.S. (I'm Really Sorry) -Piper's Pit, Switch and Bait, and many more As you become more familiar with these Games, you will be able to successfully: 1.) Recognize, analyze, and define various Games you may be playing, or participating in. 2.) Dismantle Games. 3.) Replace Games with behavior patterns that promote healthy relationships.
