Abstract

The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 55, No. 4, 1995 COMMENTARY ON THE PAPERS OF DOCTORS ELKIND AND ABARBANEL Edward R. Clemmens All learned professions share the problem of how to deal with incompe- tent, unethical, and even criminal conduct by their members. Most, if not all of these professions have created organizations composed of members that deal with such problems. Procedures have evolved over the years that attempt to address critical issues in a spirit of fairness and justice. Such is the case in the medical profession and in its speciality divisions. None of the systems that have been created work to perfection, certainly not to everybody's satisfaction, yet they are the best we have. These bodies are often organized as committees on ethics. Their membership usually is composed of colleagues who are widely respected for their integrity. They serve without compensation and they are expected to strictly avoid con- flicts of interest.
