SOCIAL SCIENCES LITERATURE
Paul Starr, The Social Transformation of American Medicine. New York, Basic Books, 1984, p. 15.
Professional authority can be defined, in part, by a distinctive type of dependency condition – the dependence on the professional's superior competence. Dependence also arises at times from the emotional needs of clients and the administrative functions of the professions, created especially by the welfare state.
