Abstract
Perhaps the most distinctive and distinguishing feature of human interaction is the use of language. It is through this rather complex system of abstract symbols that men are able to communicate their needs, feelings and ideas to one another. And as Thomas Szasz states, • • talking often helps people to cope with their problems in living."
