I read the 1963 Prentice Hall edition. I don't know if it's been changed since then.
I read this book after finishing People Reading, by Beier and Valens. I read it at a time when I was on a quest to help myself deal with some uncomfortable changes taking place in my life as a result of changes made by other people. I thought this book might help me as I struggled through, powerless to fight back and win.
The book helped alot. If for no other reason, I felt understood and not quite so alone. Practically, the book helped me make sense of the situation and gave me some communication tools which I sorely needed.
If you or someone you know needs help constructing an argument or defending hard-earned territory, I recommend reading this book.
