Profession of Medicine (Paperback, Univ of Chicago PR ed.)

"Must be judged as a landmark in medical sociology."--Norman Denzin, "Journal of Health and Social Behavior"
""Profession of Medicine" is a challenging monograph; the ideas presented are stimulating and thought provoking. . . . Given the expanding domain of what illness is and the contentions of physicians about their rights as professionals, Freidson wonders aloud whether expertise is becoming a mask for privilege and power. . . . "Profession of Medicine" is a landmark in the sociological analysis of the professions in modern society."--Ron Miller, "Sociological Quarterly"
"This is the first book that I know of to go to the root of the matter by laying open to view the fundamental nature of the professional claim, and the structure of professional institutions."--Everett C. Hughes, "Science"
