title: Medical ideologies in conflict.
abstract: During the 1960s, the growing dissent within the medical profession heightened the ideological differences among physicians. This paper focuses on the ideological differences among three groups within medicine: traditionalists, liberals, and radicals. A content analysis of selected medical editorials and articles during 1972 was used to identify differences in ideological content for the following areas: professional unity; authority; self-regulations; self-education; the role of health professionals; manpower; medical education; research; health care; financing health care; and governmental relations.
