By restricting close friendships to those who are accepted members of the profession, the professionals avoid threats to their professional perspectives. Experts support each other in their basic presuppositions and attitudes towards non-experts. Being experts they put distance between themselves and their clients. Because they are experts they do not expect any real insights and understanding to be offered to them on the part of non-experts. Thus non-experts do not merit their intimate association; they choose their friends from those of like mind and station in life. Professional standards thus come to call for an appropriate professional distance---to insure objectivity and professional service uncomplicated by personal intimacy between the professional and the client. The objective- analytic-technical mode of approach thus dominates professional relationships; and the professional collusion calls this good. Objectivity is an essential aspect of professional service. So also is subjective identification with those one seeks to serve an essential aspect of professional service. Either aspect emphasized to the exclusion of the other undermines the service. Objectivity without subjectivity makes service mechanical and meaningless; such service is powerless to engender hope and meaning. Subjectivity without objectivity makes service mushy and impractical; such service is powerless to cope with practical problems and questions of justice. The arrogance of claiming that the complimentary mode of approach is without value is destructive; as are all exclusive claims to omniscience, omnipotence, and other qualities traditionally ascribed to God, because humans cannot cope with having them. Professions which claim such qualities are trapped in a collusion which is idolatrous. The transcendence of professional collusions is facilitated by communication between participants in the collusions and those who are not trapped in the collusions. This transcendence happens when participants in the collusion take seriously what non-participants consider to be most important, as revealed in their healthy spending of their time and energy.
