I shall note below how a national focus in medical historical writing could elicit attention to professional collectivities.

Johann Hermann Baas, idem, Outlines of the History of Medicine and the Medical Profession, trans. and ed. H. E. Handerson (New York: J. H. Vail, 1889). Stand is ambiguous, and Handerson sometimes translated it, perhaps more appropriately, in the sense of the conditions under which physicians practiced. The narrow emphasis of Baas on the legal standing of the profession, as opposed to professional sense, is underlined, for example, by Handerson's gratuitously adding a passage about "colleagueship" (p. 733) that was not in the German original (p. 589).

Another subject that often entered standard narratives in an incidental way was the history of successive epidemics neither epidemics nor the profession was usually integrated into the customary intellectual history. The intellectual history format was modeled on traditions of the history of civilization and history of philosophy common in the late nineteenth century.

(Jena: Gustav Fischer, 1902-5), 3: 1001-22, dealt with legal status and was presentist in orientation.

Garrison did include discussions of some professional matters very incidentally. A particularly graphic demonstration of the individual-and-idea approach was J. L. Pagel's construction of a summary table of the history of medicine, similar to what would later be called a timeline. At one point, Pagel even made explicit what the subject of the history of medicine was: authors. And so they appeared in his table. He was so consistent that his table had to omit the usual discussion of prehistoric healers - because there were no authors to be listed! J. L.

Professionalisation
-
ed. R. C. Olby et al. London: Routledge
-
J. B. Morrell, "Professionalisation," in Companion to the History of Modern Science, ed. R. C. Olby et al. (London: Routledge, 1990), pp. 980-89, for example, traced to Carr-Saunders and Wilson the idea of historical change in which "various occupations gained the characteristics of a profession.... an aspect of occupational development and strategy, in which the desire for higher status, autonomous control of conditions of work and control of the market in the interest of higher rewards (financial and honorary) were all prominent" (p. 981). Yet in the 1930s, this developmental model inherent in Carr-Saunders and Wilson's book did not immediately emerge into the understanding of readers. The authors did not use the term "professionalization" (although it had been used in English occasionally, albeit casually, since the turn of the century). Critics complained, and with good reason, of a lack of general viewpoint in the work.

C. H. Talbot, review of The Development of Medicine, by Vern Bullough, Med. Hist., 1968, 12: 106.

The Study of Medical Institutions: Eliot Freidson's Legacy
-
The author noted that the concept had been as much absorbed, however, as deconstructed and abandoned. An account emphasizing the functionalism and deviance orientations of sociologists of the professions is Sydney Halpern and Renee R. Anspach, "The Study of Medical Institutions: Eliot Freidson's Legacy," Work Occup., 1993, 20: 279-95.

and there are incisive retrospective passages throughout Burrage and Torstendahl, Professions in Theory and History (n. 1 ). In medical sociology proper, the profession was totally obscured by the sociologists' interest in issues of socioclinical medicine and power, and many historians of medicine followed this trend of the sociologists by focusing on the history of disease in its social aspects.

Most of the work on specialization was in one way or another localized, but not without a keen awareness of general implications; one early example was Rosemary Stevens, American Medicine and the Public Interest (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1971).

It is striking that when Gelfand wrote "The History of the Medical Profession" in 1993 (n. 3), he obviously found very few works to cite from before 1978.

Introduction, from Art to Science: Women Physicians in American Medicine, 1600-1980
-
ed. Regina Markell Morantz, Cynthia Stodola Pomerleau, and Carol Hansen Fenichel Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press
-
It is curious that women's historians and feminists who began enriching the history of medicine in the 1970s did not - until some time later, as in Morantz-Sanchez's book - contribute significantly to the history and understanding of the medical profession. Indeed, it is instructive to contrast her 1985 book with an earlier essay, Regina Markell Morantz, "Introduction, From Art to Science: Women Physicians in American Medicine, 1600-1980," in In Her Own Words: Oral Histories of Women Physicians, ed. Regina Markell Morantz, Cynthia Stodola Pomerleau, and Carol Hansen Fenichel (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1982), esp. pp. 23-24.

The American Midwife Controversy: A Crisis of Professionalization
-
Frances E. Kobrin, "The American Midwife Controversy: A Crisis of Professionalization," Bull. Hist. Med., 1966, 40: 350-63, did not make systematic use of the word that appeared in the title. Mostly, like other historians, such scholars did not make the term and concept of profession central but used it casually, as a collective term.

Feminists tended, when appropriate, to identify men, regardless of status or organization, as the unsympathetic actors, not professionals; some early examples of careful scholarship were Judy Barrett Litoff, American Midwives, 1860 to the Present (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1978),

-
At best, professions appeared as an arena within which - as sociologist Judith Lorber, Women Physicians: Careers, Status, and Power (New York: Tavistock Publications, 1984), p. 28, suggested - women struggled with men for professional recognition. (I am of course not dealing with the history of nursing, which embodies a special narrative of the struggle for professional recognition.)

One major paper was Marie R. Haug, "The Deprofessionalization of Everyone?" Sociol. Focus, 1975, 8: 197-213, which suggested that "societal trends, both technological and ideological, are rendering the concept of profession obsolete" (p. 211).
