I remember the very popular book THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY and instantly recognized the dust cover. Faye was shown reading it while stretched out on Don’s couch. 

Kurt Vonnegagut reviewed the book for Life Magazine in 1965:

 In the opening move in a game of “Try and Collect,” for instance, a player runs up a big bill, which he is very slow to pay. (This is a game, incidentally, which the author says children usually learn from their parents.) The middle moves are the low-comedy threats and chases which deadbeats find delicious. The end, when the creditor either collects the money or gives up, often leads to a harrowing round of another game, such as “Now I’ve Got You, You Son of a Bitch,” or “Why Does This Always Happen to Me?”

The book recieved Vonnegut’s approval:

This is an important book—if not to scientists, then to laymen in their anguished need for simple clues as to what isreally going on. It also fricassees the canard that a novelist or playwright, with his magic intuition, can reveal more about life than any physician could ever know. The good Doctor, meaning only to add his insights to the healing arts, has provided story lines that hacks will not exhaust in the next 10,000 years.

To date, THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY has sold over 5 million copies.
