  • The social situation in which a person lives constitutes the
    team on which he plays and is, therefore, important in deter-
    mining who he is and how he acts. Man's so-called instinctual
    needs are actually shaped—and this may include inhibiting,
    fostering, or even creating "needs"—by the social games
    prevalent in his milieu. The view of a dual, biosocial determi-
    nation of behavior has become incorporated into psychoana-
    lytic theory through increasing emphasis on ego psychology
    and object relationships. Useful as these modifications of
    classical psychoanalytic theory have been, explanations in
    terms of ego functions are not as satisfactory for either theory
    or therapy as those couched in terms of rules, roles, and games.
