Lacking essential integrative role models the community disintegrates. It is essential therefore to recognize and be aware of the fact that essential integrative role models are absent, and to take steps to provide such role models; to recall them to encourage their presence. It is difficult to recognize an absence once it has occurred. The absence may be due to a collusion/taboo. The longer the term of absence, the greater the difficulty in recognizing how important the absence is. Through the disintegration due to the absence the absence may not be recognized.
