Answer:

a situation in which a person is confronted with two irreconcilable demands or a choice between two undesirable courses of action.

Step-by-step explanation:

One example of double bind communication is a mother giving her child the message: "Be spontaneous." If the child then acts spontaneously, he is not acting spontaneously because he is following his mother's direction.
