What you may have "gleaned" from textbooks is not enough to make blanket assumptions about people because of the line of work they chose. I'll now out of this thread now. I know you could care less about my opinion but I think it's important to know that things usually do affect people and it's sad and a bit disturbing that you believe something as bizarre as Ts being trained to be cold and uncaring. Maybe you've met some who are and maybe they are just *********s. I think that's probably more like it. There are stereotypes about Ts and other professionals that always have an element of truth and can be funny, but some of what I'm reading here borders on being nastiness.
