Goulding Kupfer diagram

Bob Goulding and David Kupfer developed a different version of the transactional game. For them, games have five required features.

Goulding Kupfer diagram

1. First comes the Social level opener of the game (Ss). Goulding and Kupfer call in the ostensible straight stimulus.

2. The second element of the game is the simultaneous psychological level message (Sp) which is the game of the con. It is called secret message and include a scripty statement about self.

3. As always, the outcome is determined at the psychological level. In the Goulding Kupfer sequence, this is the “response to the secret message.”

4. Both players end up experiencing racket feelings, the bad feeling payoff.

5. The entire series of ulterior transactions stays outside the adult awareness of the players.

Goulding Kupfer diagram

The Gouldings point out that if anyone had enough investment in getting into his favorite game, he can twist the actual responses he is getting from the other person so as to read the game response into them. Thus he can get his racket payoff even if the other person’s responses were not gamey.

Activity
