Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 1996.

My dissertation examines the place of morality in the professional culture of nineteenth-century French medicine. It begins in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when the Old Regime system of regional, trade-based medical guilds was abolished in favor of a laissez-faire system of professional organization. Chapter one argues that anxiety over the impact of the liberal organization of medicine on doctors' status pushed issues of morality and discipline into the forefront of medical professional politics. The following two chapters, which focus on the medical ethical literature of the early nineteenth century, suggest that physicians' professional sensibilities derived from a conception of medicine according to which the physician's moral character and bedside manner mattered as much as his scientific knowledge.

520 $a My dissertation examines the place of morality in the professional culture of nineteenth-century French medicine. It begins in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when the Old Regime system of regional, trade-based medical guilds was abolished in favor of a laissez-faire system of professional organization. Chapter one argues that anxiety over the impact of the liberal organization of medicine on doctors' status pushed issues of morality and discipline into the forefront of medical professional politics. The following two chapters, which focus on the medical ethical literature of the early nineteenth century, suggest that physicians' professional sensibilities derived from a conception of medicine according to which the physician's moral character and bedside manner mattered as much as his scientific knowledge.
520 $a In chapters four, five and six I turn to the legal regulation of the medical profession and its impact on doctors' notions of professionalism. Although doctors often drew on notions of morality as a defense against legal threats to their independence, especially with regard to malpractice and human experimentation, medical jurisprudence and medical morality were just as frequently mutually constitutive: with respect to professional confidentiality jurists drew on medical notions regarding the nature of the medical act, while doctors increasingly incorporated legalistic concepts of privacy in their conceptualization of the doctor-patient relation.
520 $a The last two chapters trace the evolution toward a more legalistic approach to medical morality: the formal codification of medical "deontology" beginning in the 1880s and the legal codification of the rules of confidentiality in the last decades of the nineteenth century. These decades, I argue, witnessed a reconfiguration of French medical morality. Doctors did not abandon their older moral traditions, but they increasingly turned to law as a means of protecting the French "tradition" of liberal medicine against the threat of "bureaucratization" posed by the state and other third-party healthcare institutions. The result was the codification of the rules regulating doctors' relations with third-party institutions for the express purpose of protecting the moral vision of the doctor-patient relation defined in the first two-thirds of the century.
