The authors suggest a modification of Berne's six time structures, based on an analysis of stroke intensity and risk factors. They introduce the addition of “play” as a seventh category in the time structure sequence. The major characteristics of play are presented and are contrasted with games and the other time structures. Practical implications for treatment are discussed.
