Abstract

Freedman and Metzger focus on professional identity and its relationship to authority, illustrating their ideas by referring to Franz Kafka's The Trial. Then, using as examples Edith Jacobson and Käthe Dräger in Nazi Germany, as well as Antigone, Galileo, and Jung, they demonstrate the dilemma facing the professional in a totalitarian society and four ways with which it can be dealt.
