there is no escape (lose, lose situation)
6 characteristic of a double bind - Answer ✔✔1) Communication
involves 2 or more people who are involved in an important emotional
relationship.
2) The pattern of communication and the relationship is a repeated
experience.
3) The communication involves a primary negative injunction--or a
command not to do (some act) or not to NOT do (some act), either of
which come with a threat of punishment.
4) A second abstract injunction is given that contradicts the primary
injunction but at a more abstract level and is usually nonverbal. This also
occurs under the threat of punishment.
5) A third negative injunction both demands a response and prevents
escape, effectively binding the recipient to the environment in which
these patterns exist.
6) When the above double bind messages have been communicated
enough times, the individual has become conditioned which no longer
requires all of the above mentioned criteria to be present in order to elicit
the same intensity in response (panic, rage, schizophrenia).
