"However most writers agree that the Core Characteristics which distinguish the professions from other occupations are that they are based on a Body of  Theoretical Knowledge, that their members command Special Skills and Competence in the application of this Knowledge and that their Professional Conduct is guided by a Code of Ethics, the focus of which is Service to the Client." - Nina Toren
