The social and communicative phenomenon of the Reichsbürger forces some people in organisations to deal with representatives of this movement. This is challenging and can be deeply irritating.

The podcast episode gives Tips and hints for the concrete handling of Reichsbürger and analyses the phenomenon with the transaction-analytical concept of psychological games.

This episode is the second part on the topic of psychological games. Episode #89 is part 1 on the topic.

The Psychological games are a concept of transactional analysis that deals with communicative patterns of a manipulative nature. These psychological games are usually destructive in nature. Eric Berne, the founder of transactional analysis, was instrumental in developing this concept and his bestseller "Games People Play" (1964) was instrumental in the early success of transactional analysis as a school of humanistic psychology.
