Post by: new-york-er on Oct 21, 2015
Which example of behavior in a family system demonstrates double-bind communication?
a.   A mother tells her daughter, "You make me so mad that sometimes I wish I had never had you."
b.   A teenager tells her father, "You are treating me like a baby when you tell me I must be home by 10 PM on a school night."
c.   A son tells his mother, "You worry too much about what might happen.  Nothing has happened yet, so why worry?"
d.   A wife tells her husband, "You go ahead with your bowling trip.  Try not to worry about me falling on my crutches while I'm alone at home."
