Originally published in 1976 The Rise of the Medical Profession
combines a sociological and historical approach to the rise of the
medical profession in England. Sociologically it offers a
theoretical framework which for the first time links the study of
social mobility and professionalism with the theory of
stratification. Historically, it examines the movement which led to
the unification of the medical profession arising from effective
social organisation among the surgeon-apothecaries in the early
nineteenth century. It demonstrates that through the successful
pursuit of the occupational strategy of professionalism the doctors
have been able to raise their income and status in the community
and to dominate the institutions and organisations of medical care.
In their relationship with the state, they have been generally
successful in securing a recognition of their privileged position.
The future of the medical profession and of professionalism is
discussed in the context of the changing balance between state
power and that of free private occupation associations, whether of
the type based on professionalism or unionism. The ideal-type
conception of the middle class as essentially individualistic is
challenged by the exploration of middle class collective action,
particularly professionalism.
