 %PROFESSIONAL DEFENSE COLLUSION OBJECTIVITY ADDICT 900530

     Professionals may  defend their collusive  games   of
mutual  self deception by demanding that members of  their
profession who seek to call their dishonesty into question
do  so within the framework of conventional standards  for
professional publication.  They are unwilling to recognize
and   admit   that  their   standards   for   professional
publication   are  designed  to  conceal   the  misleading
aspects  of  their professional life.  The control of  the
media  of  publication  inhibits  the  revelation  of  the
professional   dishonesty which conceals the collusions of
the profession.

     The  medium  is not entirely the  message,  but   the
control  of  the  medium may control the  honest  messages
which might otherwise flow.  Professional publications are
designed   to  serve  the  profession  and  its   standard
assumptions,  values, ideals, perceptions,  and attitudes;
including those which are characteristic of organizational
addictions and collusions.

     Professionals who  seek to call  into  question   the
dishonesty  which characterizes their profession will most
likely have to detach from their profession to avoid being
preoccupied   with   fighting  its  compulsive  games   of
professional  self defense.   Constantly being engaged  in
such  fighting  undermines  the  personal  recovery  of  a
professional who has  begun to recognize the addictions of
the  profession.    Constant  engagement in  such  battles
serves  the  professional  collusions,  for  through  such
battles potential prophets are  kept busy  in  ways  which
undermine  their ability to reveal professional dishonesty
to  those  outside  the profession.   Addicts  who  defend
professional dishonesty cannot be controlled; and attempts
to   control them drag those who try to control them  into
the  addictive  patterns of behavior  of  the  profession.
Personal  recovery  and   professional recovery  from  the
addictive  patterns  of professional thought,   attitudes,
and  behavior  are  more  likely  to   be  served  through
charitable    personal    detachments,      than   through
compulsively engaging in conflict.
