Abstract
■ Helping professions generally use a psychoanalytic model to interpret behavior. This article describes a game-model theory that provides important additional insight into interpersonal strategies. The work of Szasz and Berne on role-taking, rule-following, and hidden payoffs is presented. The games of court jester and incompetence illustrate applications of the model to strategies of mildly retarded adolescents in individual and group situations. ■
