Encyclopedia > Wendell Johnson

Psychologist and author Wendell Johnson was a proponent of General Semantics (or GS).


His book Living With Change, a collection of various pieces he wrote over many years, is a good introduction to GS.


Three Questions

Johnson counselled others to solve problems by utilizing these three questions:

  • What do you mean? (Designed to clarify the situation)
  • How do you know? (Designed to ascertain the truth via evidence)
  • What then? (or: So What?) (Designed to explore implications, consequences, or alternatives)

Wendell Johnson and Charles Van Riper (8324 words)
Wendell Johnson was born in 1906 on a stock and wheat farm near the village of Roxbury in central Kansas.
Both he and Johnson had been developing their own therapy techniques since they became independent of Travis, and here I was breaking some of Van's rules by not handling my stuttering in the way he would have liked, so he had to make an example of me in the presence of the other students.
Johnson became the champion of the view that stuttering is purely learned behavior, performed by a 'normal' individual as a result of environmental variable, chiefly conditioning by parents or other adults.
