For one flew over the cuckoo's nest, how does the nurse control the patients?

i think that the nurse is controlling the patients by the log book. she uses that to emasculate the patients but how does show that she's controlling them?For one flew over the cuckoo's nest, how does the nurse control the patients?
The log book is used to force the men to remain on the subject of Nurse's choice, ie:


';Yesterday, Billy made some progress on a dream he had last week. Mr. Murphy and those near him, please be quiet. We cannot interrupt this serious process and jeopardize Billy's health.';


Like that. [that's not a direct quote]





I think she used polite, veiled threats both through the log book (which personally I wouldn't bet on as the front contender showing control-measures) and...


1.Through the use of electroshock treatments, which I think was a greater threat.


2. 'Big' Nurse also used (always polite) threats to tell family members if she thinks any patient needs a different routine, ie removal from an outdoor privilege or much worse.


3. Activities provided were few, with lazy card games most often done.


4. Family visits could be stopped entirely by her 'say-so'.


5. She did not even realize one protagonist could hear and speak.


6. She was obviously not at all in touch with her patients, and though she may have thought she was did things in their best interests, the author Kesey, by the end, made it clear it was all about control for the Nurse.For one flew over the cuckoo's nest, how does the nurse control the patients?
with the mean attitude and the drugs

Watch the movie.


But whatever you do, don't be lazy.
