Life Games
• All games have animportant and probablydecisive influence on thedestinies of the playersunder ordinary socialconditions.
• But some offer moreopportunities than othersfor life long careers andare more likely to involverelatively innocentbystanders.
• This group may beconveniently called LifeGames.
See What You Made Me Do
• In Its classical form, this
is a marital game and in
fact is a “three star
marriage buster” but it
may also be played
between parents and
children and in working
life.
See What You Made Me Do
• First degree SWYMD :
This is a game which is
too easily learned by
young children, so that
it is easily passed on
from generation to
generation.
See What You Made Me Do
• Second degree SWYMD
: This happens when
SWYMD is the basis for
a way of life, rather than
merely being used
occasionally as a
protective mechanism.

• Third degree SWYMD :
In a hard form, SWYMD
may be played by
paranoids against
people incautious
enough to give them
advice.
See What You Made Me Do
• The professional player
who pays his
psychological way with
SWYMD will use it at
work.
• In occupation SWYMD,
the long suffering look of
resentment replaces
words.
See What You Made Me Do
• “See what you made me
do” and “You got me into
this” complement each
other nicely, so that the
SWYMD – UGMIT
combination is a classical
basis for the covert game
contract in many
marriages.
See What You Made Me Do
• The antithesis to first
degree SWYMD is to
leave the player alone,
and to second degree
SWYMD to throw the
decision back to the
white.
See What You Made Me Do
• The first degree player
may react by feeling
forlorn, but seldom
angry; the second
degree player may
become sulky if he is
forced to take the
initiative.
See What You Made Me Do
• The antithesis to third
level SWYMD should be
to put into competent
professional hands.
