Quote:In “People in Quandaries,” the speech pathologist Wendell Johnson describes the causes and effects of the IFD cycle. In this series of reactions, I, unrealistic expectations and ideals, lead to F, frustrations, which discourage us, and may delude us with even less realistic expectations or ideal; the IFD can quickly become viciously circular.Probably the IFD cycle affects almost everyone to some degree: who doesn’t have some ultimately frustrating expectations? But instead of letting our frustrations discourage or delude us, we can and should learn from them; some mistakes may prove worth making for the sake of the discoveries they lead to.”People in Quandaries” includes some semantic exercises with which we can learn how to learn; by recognizing the limitations of our expectations and language, we can learn to see beyond them.Textbook BindingPublisher: HarperCollins (June 1946)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0060433809ISBN-13: 978-0060433802Product Dimensions: 8.5 x 5.9 x 1.4 inchesShipping Weight: 1.1 poundsAverage Customer Review: 5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #3,169,902 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)Product Page: http://www.amazon.com/People-Quandaries-Semantics-Personal-A…
