"This is an immensely useful book for sociologists working in a
wide range of sub-fields. It confirms Freidson's status among the
leading exponents of the old Chicago tradition. This book is
catholic in its reading, sophisticated in its arguments and
cautious in its judgements."--Robert Dingwall, "Sociology"
"As an attempt to provide a complex, wide-ranging account this book
should be essential reading for specialist students, and it should
act as a stimulus for the extension of both empirical research and
theory."--Alex Faulkner, "Sociological Review"
"Freidson's book is a concise introduction to the professions,
challenging specialists with its puncturing of theoretically
induced misconceptions and offering general readers a clear but
critical entree to the theoretical literature concerning this
central aspect of modern society."--Andrew Abbott, "Science"
"This is a stimulating and well-written book which opens up a new
perspective on the professions as well as contributing to existing
debates."--David Podmore, "Times Higher Education Supplement"
