In this episode, we look at the first half and first case study of Andrew Abbott's book "The System of Professions: An Essay on the Division of Expert Labor." In this episode, the focus is on how Abbott defines the major constructs of his framework -- professionalization, professional work (diagnosis, inference, treatment), and claims of jurisdiction. For Part 1, we concentrate on the application of Abbott's framework onn individual professions and subdivisions therein.
