Abstract
- The article examines the concept of medicalisation. Topics covered include how medicalisation has been criticised by some sociologists because of its seeming negativity about medicine and its fading relevance compared to concepts such as biomedicalisation and pharmaceuticalisation, the development of the concept of medicalisation, and the role of medicalisation in late-modern social life and culture.
