There have been several. I'll pick Eric Berne's book Games People Play.
I immediately recognised a few that I had played and, having been 'called out' on them by the book, it did lead me to stop and behave more constructively.
Can you give an example? Sounds interesting.
The 'original' game: Why Don't You - Yes But was the one that I first recognised in myself. There are plenty of other examples on that website, but as the page says, it doesn't have the full explanation and context.
Thanks!
