Abstract
The incidence and control of mental health problems among professionals poses special hazards for society and the profession itself. Professional people have positions in which high levels of trust, confidence, and competence need to be maintained. Complicating this is the fact that professionals traditionally have been self-regulating. Thus, the professionals themselves must decide what standards are needed and what ought to be done when such standards are not maintained by their colleagues. What to do with the mentally incapacitated professional has been a seriously neglected and often confused aspect of self-regulation. [1st paragraph]
