I suppose that sometimes there are mind games. I think that other times people might be using that label in an attempt to try to explain what they don't understand.
I think my behavior with my therapist might have been viewed by some therapists as mind games. Fortunately my own therapist didn't label them as such - at least not out loud and not for long periods of time. He realized that my confusion and lack of interpersonal skills might have led to behaviors that appeared on the surface to be manipulative and led me to try behaviors that were actually far better at achieving the results I wanted.
