§ Psychology

Double bind is a dilemma in communication when a person is presented with two or more conflicting messages, with one negating the other. So that, successful response to one message leads to unsuccessful response to the other. That means, the person will be wrong regardless of response.

The person is unable to choose and that leads to tons of internal struggle.
