Without in-depth game analysis, transactional analysis may become an empty shell of people saying, and sincerely believing, “I'm OK and you....” The author's introduction to game analysis began with the colloquial names of games and then with learning ways to discover the content of hidden messages. There followed the stopper to any play of a game: “Feel anything and refuse the payoff.” Gradually came the realization that even the “heroes” of transactional analysis—analysts who were certified—played games. The author went on a journey to experience and understand the roller-coaster quality of organizational as well as individual games. The inner journey to unconscious, dishonest psychodynamics and then outward to unconsciously dishonest communication may lead the adventurer to name the hidden evil of what parades as dishonesty in a good cause
