But, probably out of pure professional deformation, I began noticing something else that I liked a lot less. This was the decade where I came of age, discovered theology, embraced my vocation at the intersection of Church and society.

Perhaps because of what might be called professional deformation, it was not really understood that health is a social phenomenon whose determinants cannot be neatly separated from other social and economic determinants. Nor can it be assigned solely to one bureaucratic-administrative sector of the state. Nor was it understood sufficiently—though it was spelled out clearly—that health is, above all, a complex social and political process that requires political decision-making not only at the sectorial level but also by the state, so that these decisions are binding upon all sectors without exception.

"We who wish to honor the thinkers, although our abode lies in the midst of the world, can hardly help finding it striking and perhaps infuriating that Plato and Heidegger, when they got mixed up in human affairs, turned to tyrants and Fuehrers. This should be imputed not only to the circumstances of the times and still less to preformed character, but rather to what the French call a professional deformation. For the inclination toward the tyrannical could be demonstrated theoretically in many of the great thinkers (Kant is the great exception)."

Professional Deformation
Sarah Chayes - September 15, 2003 - #44

Re outside news... It's a professional deformation, as the French say, but I tend to throw myself pretty thoroughly into wherever I am. It feels like the whole world. I do listen to a few minutes of BBC World Service every AM, and devour magazines that come our way once a month or so. Afghans listen avidly to the BBC, in company often. But as that's Pashtu/Farsi service, it tends to be rather -- if not exclusively -- regionally focused. From my perspective, especially given what I've been witnessing, Iraq looks not only like a predictable quagmire, but perhaps a pretty well planned one. Could the lightening defeat of Saddam's forces have been due to a strategic withdrawal?

The humorless and mean-spirited innuendo employed by Mr. Werner—the suggestion that I am "benevolent" in praising Strunk, the unspecified "points" of disagreement between Wellesz and Strunk, Werner's self-control in not identifying "other possible and impossible statements" in my review—all this hides nothing of substance; it is probably only a professional deformation, a tic of style, of implying something that is not there, that Werner developed the better to present his own musicological work, largely a tissue of unsupported conjectures. Some few of these conjectures concerning the relation of Byzantine to Hebrew chant were accepted by Wellesz, and the gratitude obliquely expressed by Werner's letter does him credit: the sour tone of its expression, however, is deplorable.

Collins-Robert gives "job-conditioning", which I have never seen before, but I prefer Vicky's "professional deformation", which I have seen and heard many times.
