Instead of these people talking to <I>each other,</I> they need a nurse as a 3rd party to "facilitate" their dysfunctional communication patterns, and as an object onto which they can project their own inadequacies, such as the inability to read a bulletin board and dial a phone themselves.<BR/><BR/>This.
