Résumé
'Dermatological games' by J. A. Cotterill was a seminal article published in 1981, which attempted to explain the interaction between dermatologists and patients using Berne's game theory. In Part 1 of this series of two reviews, we review Cotterill's original list of games and how they applied to dermatology in the context of when they were written. We then critically appraise Cotterill's article and arguments. Although the article was deliberately provocative, we found Cotterill's arguments to be well-structured and logical, and the 'games' described are well-conceived. Cotterill's candid analysis of doctors' motivations and the potential impact on the patient is refreshing and insightful. It is striking that, 40 years on, many of the original 'games' described remain recognizable in current practice. In Part 2, a list of new 'games' that might be observed in modern dermatological practice is introduced. The relevance of Cotterill's paper and an explanation for why his educational article remains relevant to dermatology practice and training today is scrutinized in order to stimulate discussion, promote education and improve patient care.
