Professions and Metaphors: Understanding Professions in Society
explores the way that two traditions have contributed to our
understanding of both theory and society over recent decades. In
the first tradition, the growing literature on metaphors has helped
to guide thinking, providing insights into such phenomena as the
study of organizations. In the second, there has been an increased
interest in professions, from lawyers and university academics to
doctors and social workers. This edited collection brings together
these two traditions for the first time, providing a unique and
systematic overview, at macro and micro level, of the use of
metaphors in the sociology of professions. A range of professional
fields are explored, from law and medicine to social work and
teaching, showing how metaphors can enhance our understanding of
the operation of professional groups. By demonstrating how
metaphors can add to our understanding of professions in society,
as well as in professional practice, this ground-breaking book
makes an invaluable contribution to advanced students and
researchers in fields such as the sociology of professions and work
and organization - as well as informing professionals and policy
makers themselves.
