▼ Abstract: This work aims at analyzing the theme of childhood
medicalization through recent work published in articles and scientific books. I used for this purpose a qualitative research method with literature review of articles published in the VHL (Virtual Health Library), from 2005 to 2015, and other publications in the period. It was observed that the concept of
medicalization has differences regarding the definition of the term. Many philosophers and scholars have made contributions to the
subject since the 70's, like Zola, Illich, Foucault and more recently Conrad. This paper highlights the concept of Foucault on bio politics and bio power as interpretative references to analyze and think about the
medicalization and normalization of children's behavior. Through data analysis it was possible to verify how pharmaceutical industry has contributed to the increased consumption of drugs as a way of solution to everyday problems and society has chosen drugs as the main form of care. ADHD appears as the most studied and medicalized problem in childhood. The family is seen as an agent in the medicalizing process, reducing the suffering of the child to an organic matter, under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry and the school. The school appears as the creator of the "not learning" diseases and is considered one of the main referrals of children to medical / psychological evaluation in health services. Health professionals have difficulties in networking, which facilitates the process of children
medicalization. The most mentioned professionals in this
medicalization process are neurologists and psychiatrists. To assist in the process of strengthening and protecting children and adolescents, it is pointed out the importance of a broad insight into the process of health and the practice of an enlarged clinic, favoring a look beyond the disease and respecting and valuing the child's subjectivity

▼ ABSTRACT
“DEPRESSION IS A MEDICAL CONDITION”: EXPLORING THE MEDICALIZATION OF DEPRESSION ON SSRI WEBSITES
Sociologists of medicine have become increasingly interested in mental health over the last two decades (Pilgrim and Rogers, 2005). Known as the “common cold” of mental illness, depression affects millions around the globe. The social understanding of depression has been shaped by a phenomenon known as medicalization, where an unusual behavior or state of being is labeled illness or disorder or disease, and addressed through rationalized medical intervention. The medicalization of depression is particularly evident on SSRI websites. SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are a popular class of antidepressants used to treat depression. Pharmaceutical companies who manufacture these medications now advertise their products on the Internet, an increasingly popular source for health information.
This thesis is a critical, empirical investigation of the medicalization of depression on SSRI websites.
Five major research questions guide this study. First, how is depression portrayed on the websites? Second, what are the means used to construct this portrayal? Third, who is the apparent target audience? Fourth, what assumptions are made about this audience? Finally, what is absent from or silent in the websites? These questions are answered using an analytical framework called Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This framework is both a theoretical orientation and a methodological process (Fairclough, 1992).
This study reveals that medicalization has a strong impact on the portrayal of depression on the websites, and is the major perspective from which the issue is approached. The depressed person is seen to be affected by depression in a variety of ways, including being ill with a medical condition and at risk for further difficulty if treatment is not handled properly. A variety of means are used to construct the portrayal of depression, including structural means such as interactional controls, linguistic means such as word choices and meanings, and visual means such as the use of diagrams and caricatures. Embedded in the text are a number of indicators which highlight some apparent assumptions about the targeted audience, such as insurance coverage and general literacy. Absences or silences in the texts include a failure to discuss the prevention of depression. The most significant finding concerns “the symptom/side-effect” problem; this dilemma highlights the lack of clarity around definitions of recovery and mental health as well as the purpose of taking medications. It also reveals that, while the application of the medicalized perspective to depression is certainly useful given the efficacy of antidepressant drugs for many people, it is not infallible and requires careful critical consideration.

▼ This study addresses the lack of sociological perspectives in theoretical frameworks commonly used in problem gambling research, and demonstrates the connection of often overlooked aspects of the social environment to variables commonly used to predict and explain problem gambling. Using the often studied correlates of problem gambling, namely,, anxiety disorders; mood disorders; and gender, each paper shows how the relationships between those correlates and problem gambling are significantly modified by features of the social environment. Contributions of sociological research to theoretical frameworks for explaining problem gambling are posited as modifications to the Pathways Model to Problem Gambling. Advanced generalized linear modeling is used to explore the interconnections of these relationships in all three studies. The research findings are discussed in relation to the dangers of reducing complex social issues such as the prevalence of problem gambling to a series of individual characteristics found in problem gamblers. Implications of governmental responsibility in gambling provision, the
medicalization of abnormal behaviours, and the role of sociological research in identifying patterns of inequality are also explored.

▼ Sociology
This research examines the structure of the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), a venue that juxtaposes a highly technological and medical setting against the care and nurturing of child by her parents. In this site, parents must construct and refine their definition of what it means to be a good parent in the context of the environment, medical professionals' expertise, and their child's hospitalization. At the same time, the health professionals on the unit are also impacted by their own experiences, preconceptions, and faith in medicine. Particularly relevant actors are the registered nurses, who care for babies but interact with parents; how nurses conceive of the parenting role influences the nature of this interaction, and therefore the experience of the parents in the unit. Yet nurses' definition of good parenting in the NICU often contradicts that of parents, and those who fail to meet the nurses' definition may find themselves labeled bad parents. Data for this research was collected in two urban NICUs. Mixed qualitative methods were used in the form of participant observation and in-depth interviews with both parents and staff members at both institutions, to the end of uncovering themes regarding commonalities of characterizations of good and bad parenting. Findings demonstrate that in constructing a definition of good parenting, parents medicalized themselves in the context of the NICU. Many incorporated medicalization into the parental role by accepting the notion that they could help to heal their baby, not just through care work but by actively taking on responsibilities that they felt could be beneficial. Parents' definitions of good parenting also included relying on the opinions of medical experts, which demonstrated a faith in the professionalization of medicine and the medicalization of childbirth and child care. Nurses' conceptions of what made up a good parent included deference. Many believed that parents needed to do what was best for the baby, defining this in part by stating that it meant listening to the experts, including themselves. Taking a Foucauldian approach to examine the position of nurses in the hospital, this fulfilled a need many nurses had to be respected for their skills and feel powerful on the unit. Additionally, nurses would label those whom they did not feel were meeting their parameters for being a good parent as bad parents, which often involved judging parents on the basis of their actions before or during their pregnancy. Parents were also judged based on how they acted in the unit. The bad parent label was applied both to parents who had confidence in their own abilities to parent while in the NICU, and also to mothers with a history of drug abuse. In accordance with labeling theory, once this label was affixed, it impacted the way that nurses and other staff treated parents and viewed all of their activities. The recent nature of this work reflects the impact of the newest technological innovations on the parental experience. This includes the…

▼ Sociology
Throughout the twentieth century, many behaviors previously considered criminal or immoral were instead defined as medical problems. This process is often referred to as the medicalization of deviance. Like many other behaviors once considered deviant, drug and alcohol abuse has been medicalizing, in a process that accelerated during the latter half of the twentieth century. Despite this movement along the path toward medicalization, drug use, and alcohol use to a lesser extent, are still also sanctioned and managed by the criminal justice system, resulting in a medical-legal-moral hybrid definition of these issues. Today we find instances where these two institutions overlap significantly. At the same time, their mutual involvement in defining and managing drug use is inconsistent. This research uses a qualitative research design to study how this medical-legal-moral hybrid definition of drug use and addiction is discussed and negotiated by various institutions that label and manage individuals who use drugs. I examined this issue by conducting interviews and observations in Philadelphia's Drug Treatment Court as well as in two outpatient drug treatment programs. Results indicate that individuals in both settings frame addiction as a "disease," although the definition is ambiguous and inconsistent. The court and the treatment programs use similar language and methods for assessing substance abuse and how to deal with it. Both also extend the definition of "addiction" to include aspects not directly related to the consumption of drugs or alcohol but to the "drug lifestyle" that includes selling drugs. Still, in neither location is a comprehensive, clear definition of "addiction" promoted and used consistently. This ambiguity results in an overlap of therapeutic and punitive methods to handle the individual's drug usage. In addition, both settings benefit from their interaction and cooperation in managing individuals with substance abuse problems, indicating that rather than moving toward a purely "medical" way of dealing with substance abuse, or placing the issue more firmly in the realm of the criminal justice system, the current mix of moral, criminal and medical methods of labeling and managing substance abuse problems may be more stagnant than the medicalization of deviance thesis suggests.

▼ This study aimed to create a holistic understanding of the physician experience in relation to telemedicine. This study examined a Tele-NICU and a Tele-ER program at a large metropolitan pediatric specialty hospital with a Level IV NICU that provides telemedicine consults to 16 remote sites across Texas. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with physicians and nurses at remote hospitals, physicians who provide consultations from the pediatric specialty hospital, and managers of the tele-specialty programs. These interviews were coded using the consolidated framework for implementation science to contextualize program strengths and weaknesses and reviewed to make recommendations for future program development. Remote site participants reported that the programs are useful when they are in need a second opinion and providing reassurance to patient's families. Barriers to program use include issues with the tele-carts, insurance acceptance, and hesitation to request a consult. Study findings demonstrate the need to treat each tele-specialty programs as independent to suit the differing needs of both remote sites and the consulting physicians. This study demonstrates the importance of understanding physician's perspectives, culture, and the role of hospital settings in telemedicine program acceptance and refutes telemedicine as a monolithic solution to limited healthcare access.

The framing of infertility in Canadian print news.

▼ Background: The theory of framing suggests that the media have the ability to influence how the public thinks about issues (Nelson, Oxley & Clawson, 1997; Chong & Druckman, 2007), by influencing what definitions, causal attributions, moral evaluations, and treatment recommendation the public considers applicable to an issue (Entman, 1993; Tewksbury & Scheufele, 2009). The theory of framing has been supported in studies of media representations of a variety of social issues. With particular relevance to this thesis, framing studies have suggested that health news often portrays the essence of health issues as highly alarming, with few efficacious treatment or coping options (Chang, 2012). The social issue this thesis focuses on specifically is infertility.
Study 1: In Study 1, a content analysis is utilized to examine how Canadian print news frames infertility. One-hundred and fifty-seven Canadian print news articles that contained the key word “infertility” in the year 2012 were analyzed. Two independent coders read the articles, and coded each article using a predetermined coding strategy (Chang, 2012) for if/how infertility was framed with respect to: prevalence; need for alarm; severity; vulnerability; need for alertness; means of coping; causes; and possible solutions. Just over one-half of the articles employed alarm frames (n=80), and the vast majority of these met the criteria for categorization as high alarm (96%). The most commonly cited cause of infertility was delayed childbearing (41% of articles) and the most frequently presented way to cope with infertility was in vitro fertilization (IVF; 46% of articles). Infertility was most often constructed as a women’s issue.
Study 2: Study 2 build on Study 1 by examining the influence that high alarm framing strategies in the presentation of infertility have on news consumer reactions to, and knowledge of, infertility issues. One hundred and thirty-nine male and female undergraduate students were randomly assigned to read news articles focusing on infertility judged to employ either high alarm framing strategies (high alarm condition, n=65) or low alarm framing strategies (low alarm condition, n=66). Participants in each condition read the assigned news articles and subsequently completed a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included measures of: fear of infertility, perceived severity of infertility, perceived vulnerability to infertility, worry about infertility, prevention efficacy, coping efficacy, and knowledge about infertility. The participants in the high alarm condition evidenced higher levels of perceived vulnerability to infertility (p = .04), and marginally higher levels of worry about infertility (p = .075) than those in the low alarm condition. In contrast, participants in the low alarm condition relayed higher levels of infertility related knowledge than those in the high alarm condition (p= .001).
Discussion: Canadian print news portrays infertility as a serious, a prevalent, an alarming and predominantly a women’s disease, and…

▼ This project uncovers and analyzes contemporary mechanisms used by educational institutions to sustain social inequality. Using the theoretical tools of sociology to interpret the messages contained in elementary bullying prevention, I reveal the ways in which school-based programming plays a role in the gendering of children. This involves the promotion of obsolete (binary) conceptualizations of gender, the validation of an association between conventional norms of masculinity and aggression and the use of rhetoric to normalize social stratification rooted in gender. Through a detailed review of popular, commercially developed curriculum materials and a series of focus groups with elementary classroom teachers, this study builds on prior work which links bullying prevention, public schools and social stratification. It produces empirical evidence to document the language and ideas of neoliberalism, individualism and medicalization embedded in school-based anti-bullying efforts and demonstrates the persistent imposition of a kindness narrative. Civility, positioned as a remedy for bullying, functions, instead, to silence critical examination of the ingredients of systemic inequality and to stymy change. This renders bullying prevention counterproductive, constitutive of the very conditions which compose a bully-friendly environment and, ultimately, raises questions about the utility of school-based health education within a context of social inequality.

▼ Understanding and reducing stigma is vital for facilitating recovery from mental disorders. Anti-stigma campaigns have often portrayed mental disorders as medical illnesses with biological and genetic (biogenetic) causes, hoping that this would reduce the tendency to blame sufferers for their problems. However, critics have cautioned that medicalizing mental disorders could backfire, increasing other facets of stigma (e.g., negative stereotyping, separation, and social rejection). A rapidly growing literature has attempted to test these propositions by examining how biogenetic causal beliefs about mental disorders influence stigma, but the findings have typically been mixed. Further, because biogenetic explanations for mental disorders appear to convey both stigmatizing and de-stigmatizing meanings, these explanations may be interpreted in different ways by different people, perhaps in line with an underlying motivation to accept or reject sufferers. In this thesis, I aimed to shed new light on the complex relationship between medicalization and stigma by (1) conducting the first meta-analytic review of the literature on how biogenetic explanations relate to and affect stigma, and (2) testing the proposition that the same motives that drive stigmatization shape how individuals interpret biogenetic explanations for mental disorders. The meta-analytic review confirmed that biogenetic explanations typically confer mixed blessings, reducing the tendency to blame people with mental disorders for their problems, but increasing endorsement of the negative stereotypes that sufferers are dangerous and have poor prognoses. However, the meta-analytic findings were equivocal with respect to how biogenetic explanations influence social rejection, with evidence of a positive correlation but no evidence of any causal effect of biogenetic explanations on rejection. Further, in two studies employing undergraduate student samples, the findings suggested that motivation to maintain collective security and cohesion (indexed by Right Wing Authoritarianism) and motivation to compete for group dominance (indexed by Social Dominance Orientation) predict key facets of stigma (blame, perceived dangerousness, and social rejection). The findings also suggested that these motivational orientations influence the interpretation of biogenetic explanations for mental disorders in complex ways that tend to reinforce stigmatizing attitudes. I conclude that disseminating biogenetic explanations for mental disorders is unlikely to reduce stigma, and could in fact reinforce stigmatization among individuals who are motivated to stigmatize.

▼ The common co-occurrence of depression and arthritis has typically been conceptualized as two distinct disease conditions, reflecting the steady trend toward viewing behavior disorders in a biomedical frame. Studies have applied the stress
process model alone, taking a biomedical understanding of arthritis which dismisses patient expectations for activity as unimportant for rheumatological intervention. The current study incorporates theory on medical social control to extend critiques of
psychiatry to rheumatology. Using logistic regression and negative binomial regression for ten dependent measures (partial criteria for DSM-IV Major Depressive Episode), activity loss is tested as mediating arthritis’ relationship to depression, an
effect anticipated to differ by age at arthritis diagnosis. Findings indicate that arthritis diagnoses increase the chances of individual depressive symptom fulfillment and number fulfilled, that this slightly differs by age at diagnosis, and that
activity loss explains much of this effect. Further research is needed to explain variation among arthritis patients.

Proceeding with Caution: The Medicalization of Chronic Back

▼ The main topic that was examined in this
thesis was the partial
medicalization of chronic back pain. Chronic
back pain is becoming increasingly more common and in many cases it
is a life-changing condition. Both traditional biomedical
treatments and Contemporary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) can be
used to treat lower chronic back pain, and there are both positive
and negative aspects to both treatments, which have been noted in
the literature review. However, the literature review has
highlighted a gap in the literature, which the thesis seeks to
address: the ways in which
medicalization is only partially
accomplished for some conditions, which are subjectively
experienced, such as chronic back pain. Although
much of the literature on
medicalization gives
medicalization a
negative connotation, it is sometimes necessary, and in fact is a
vital part of the patient's experience in order to receive
appropriate care. This study will explore what happens if the
patient's chronic back pain is medicalized, partially medicalized,
or not medicalized. This study had two sets of
findings. The first sets of findings are on the
subject of
biomedicine. The first finding is that patients are dissatisfied
with the biomedical approach that leaves them over medicated, drug
dependent or under the knife. Another finding is that when
physicians are unable to make the patient better, the patient is
accused of malingering, drug seeking or as having a
mental/psychological issue. Additionally, medical treatment is only
offered if there is a physical measure that justifies the
pain. The second set are on the
subject of CAM.
The first finding is that there is major problem: there is not as
much consistency in CAM treatments as there is in biomedical
treatments which may actually reduce the faith that people have in
CAM. The second finding is that there is at least some distrust of
CAM practitioners in both patients and physicians alike.
Additionally, as a result of the partial
medicalization of CAM,
patients have to seek out and experiment with treatment on their
own. As a result, patients are not getting their pain needs met in
part because the two areas of treatment (biomedicine and CAM) don't
work in unison. All of these findings support the conclusion that
chronic back pain is not fully medicalized. There is not a
specialty that is stepping up to take over treatment other than
surgery and when surgery isn't indicated, the patient is on his or
her own.

▼ Este trabalho constitui-se como uma narrativa de experiência que busca mostrar os efeitos de uma intervenção urbana construída para disseminar outros modos de pensar a saúde, diante de um contexto de transformação de comportamentos tidos como indesejáveis em transtornos que requerem cuidados médicos, acarretando um uso crescente de medicamentos controlados. Embora o propósito inicial da intervenção pretendesse alcançar a temática do estigma carregado pela loucura, terminou por incidir sobre as práticas medicalizadas – entende-se que este deslocamento, se diz respeito a uma troca de posição, expressa um mesmo lugar de desvalia e clausura direcionado às manifestações da diferença – antes entregues aos espaço manicomial, hoje contidas por meio de diagnósticos e do uso de psicofármacos. Percebe-se que as marcas da loucura seguem necessitando ser silenciadas. A intervenção chamada Receituário Mais que Especial foi criada a partir do encontro da pesquisadora com o Espaço Liso, projeto de extensão da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, constituído como um grupo interdisciplinar de arte e experimentação envolvendo produções de Arte na sua interface com a Saúde e a Educação. As prescrições que se produziram por meio do Receituário eram lúdicas e as mais inusitadas, direcionadas a crianças, adolescentes, adultos e idosos, com o objetivo de, por meio da delicadeza, da ocupação do espaço público e do cuidado, permitir aos sujeitos experimentar o lugar da fala e da escuta e, diante da velocidade e atropelamento do cotidiano, buscar olhar para seus próprios movimentos de vida e para aquilo que lhes incita prazer. Num mundo marcado pelo crescente aumento da medicalização, o que se quis com esta atividade foi a criação de um espaço de conversa onde os aspectos de saúde fossem colocados em primeiro plano e, desta forma, a busca por alisar o espaço estriado do discurso medicalizado.
The present document compiles a narrative of experiences to present the effects of a urban intervention built, transforming some called undesired behaviors in disorders that require medical attention where the common treatment is to increase the dosage of controlled drugs. Despite the initial proposal of the happening was to reach the stigma of mental illness audience, it ended up to influence other medicalization practices – we understand that this shift is related to a swap of places, expressing the same felling of depreciation and enclosure targeting of the difference manifestations - before delivered to manicomial spaces, today inside medical diagnosis and the usage of psychiatric drugs. We realize that the marks of crazyness still need to be sillenced. The urban intervantion called: “Receituário Mais que Especial” (meaning “A More Than Especial Prescription Pad”, in english) results from a meeting of “Espaço Liso” (meaning “Smooth Space”, in english) initiative, an extension project of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) proposing an interdisciplinary research group on the experimentation of art as an interface to health-care…

The Representation of Teenage Pregnancy in American Visual Culture on the Example of 16 and pregnant and Teen Mom.

▼ Visual culture is a broad field of studies embracing aspects of cultural studies, philosophy, anthropology and communication studies. It recognizes that the contemporary culture is build on various images which are not only presented as print images or graphic design, but also transmitted by television, Internet, different display technologies, photography and architecture. Those images construct and represent system of meanings, various phenomena and trends. The aim of this thesis is to present and analyze the representations of teenage pregnancies in American Visual Culture on the example of popular MTV series ‘Teen Mom’ and ’16 and Pregnant’. My intention is to juxtapose the statistics and research conducted in this area with the way teenage parenting is presented in media, particularly addressed to teenagers. The problem of teenage pregnancy should not be seen as a problem of a single unit, but rather an international issue. It is estimated that there are around 450 million currently living teenagers (aged 15-19) from which 13 million gave birth to babies. This phenomena is clearly a nuisance for young and unprepared for motherhood women, their families and government. In the publications I encountered the notions discussed most frequently concern psychological aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and bare statistics about births in a given year. At the same time there are hardly any resources on the portrayal of teenage motherhood. It should be seen as a serious negligence and injustice towards young women who often are vulnerable for critique and are not aware of the power of media images. I would like to explore this field and present my insights into the representation of teenage pregnancies in massive pop culture.

▼ Recently, Spain witnessed the emergence and widespread of the concept of ‘obstetric violence’.
Some legal texts appeared in Latin-America (Venezuela 2007, Mexico 2007-2014, Argentina 2009),
activists and scholars define the concept of 'obstetric violence' as a kind of gender-based violence
exercised by healthcare personnel on women and fetuses/children during pregnancy and
childbirth. This takes place in form of dehumanized treatments,
medicalization and pathologizing
of women’s reproductive processes through the appropriation of their bodies, reproductive
capacities and sexuality. Harmful practices that have been reported in case files include: the
denial of information about the procedures employed during the labor process, humiliations and
miscarrying attitudes, excessive rates of cesarean birth, routine medical practices that do not have
proven advantages for women and fetuses/children's welfare ( enemas, episiotomies, sedatives,
supine position as mandatory, or practices that have been proven risky as the Kristeller‘s method)..
The reports made under the label of obstetric violence generally express severe misgiving about
the medicalizing approach, professional authoritarianism and sexist attitudes towards pregnant
women within the current healthcare system. Through the case of Spain this research aims to
understand what are the possibilities of the concept of 'obstetric violence' to raise awareness
about the patriarchal, medicalizing and authoritarian practices that seem to take place within the
field of obstetrics, since the concept has begun to be used within different movements related to
respected childbirth claims in the country. The research departs from the work done by the
biopolitical and feminist approaches to healthcare, the issues addressed by women's health
movements, the sexual and reproductive rights advocacy and respected childbirth's statements in
the Western context, with special emphasis in the context of Spain.

▼ Anthropology
This dissertation explores understandings of food and hunger in the United States within the sociocultural context of neoliberalism. Using fieldwork conducting in Norristown, Pennsylvania, I critically explore understandings of the diet and link these understandings to the large-scale economic restructuring that has played out since 1980. To provide a backdrop for this analysis, I first detail the history of Norristown and situate the space in present times and a deindustrialized urban center where low-income residents face limited access to affordable healthy foods. Previous to the election of Ronald Reagan, a relatively robust social safety net was in place to assist people living in these situations, but this safety net has shrunk during the era of neoliberalism. Neoliberal policy shifts in food assistance programs serve as a launching point for my analysis of understandings of food. I first consider the remnants of the food assistance bureaucracy and how food programs play out from federal to local levels. I then shift my attention to the increased emphasis on nutrition education programs as a strategy to alleviate the poor dietary status of many who live on fixed incomes. Here, I am concerned with how these programs shift the responsibility for the diet onto the individuals themselves while doing little to ensure proper access to healthy foods. Ideas of individual responsibility also play out among the many volunteers involved in private food charities, and in the food advertisements that can be seen all over the urban space of Norristown. Taken together a complex picture of the diet emerges that is very much reflective of neoliberal ideology.

antecedents have received sociological focus since the 1970s, in
studies of how diagnosis and subsequent interventions serve to
manage deviant behaviours, as well as accounting for experiences of
a diagnosis whose legitimacy has been consistently questioned.
Taking methodological cues from Michel Foucault’s exploratory
endeavours, this dissertation aims to provide some clarity on
sociological conceptions of disorders of inattention and
hyperactivity and their relationship to other authoritative claims
about such disorders. Sociological explanations of these disorders
remain in tension with claims from clinical research about these
disorders as objective entities as well as with skeptical claims
from popular literature which deny the existence and legitimacy of
such disorders. Relying on English-language textual material from
the NEOS Library Consortium, focusing on the period 1970 2005, this
research examines a deep and broad corpus of statements made about
such disorders. By providing a close reading of programmatic texts,
and by engaging in critical reflection on their entangled use of
descriptive, evaluative, and prescriptive claims, this work obtains
some conceptual clarity about descriptions of the mechanisms which
pathologize measurable differences among individuals. This work
also provides some clarity on what sorts of sociological objects
disorders of inattention and hyperactivity might be. Invoking work
in the philosophy of health and illness, it concludes that one can
grant the existence of disorders of inattention and hyperactivity,
but on the grounds that disorder is a social fact and not reducible
to physiological explanations. Furthermore, the discursive analysis
provided is additional evidence in support of the claim that
medicine is an institution of socialization. Treatments for these
disorder aim at establishing proper behavior through the
individualization of conduct. Alongside any direct manipulation of
bodies and minds which occur, interventions for these disorders
constitute power relations as Foucault described: the modification
of the behavior of others at a distance. The goal of interventions
is to modify the behavior of others at the same time as making them
responsible for that altered behavior, consequently integrating
them into a political economy of rule following.

▼ Despite sharing an equally high prevalence of infertility, poor women of color are constructed ideologically as hyperfertile, while infertility is stereotyped as primarily affecting white higher-class women. Through fifty-eight in-depth interviews, I explore how women of various demographic characteristics understand, live and cope with infertility within such a context. Written chronologically, the dissertation begins by exploring why women want to mother in the first place. The data suggest lower-class women desire motherhood for the individual advantages they will gain from having a baby, so their motivations are centered around the effects of the child. In contrast, higher-class women want to mother not because of what the child will bring them, but because of the mothering role itself. Furthermore, the lower-class women overcame marginalization by redefining ‘good’ motherhood according to their own contexts and comparing themselves to the ideal and other mothers. Higher-class women also compared themselves to women considered to be ‘bad’ mothers in an effort to distance their own mothering from such a
label. In establishing that all of the participants want to mother and believe they will be ‘good’ mothers, the dissertation then explores how the women go about attaining that role. Lower-class women wanted pregnancy to be a “natural” process through the use of unprotected intercourse; whereas, higher-class women attempted to control when and how pregnancy would occur by using various technological mechanisms to become pregnant. There were also class differences in the amount of support women received once they recognized their fertility difficulties. Lower-class women had far less support for their infertility struggles than did higher-class women because of different peer groups, marital rates, and discussion of personal topics like infertility within their communities. Finally, how women resolve their infertility, whether medically or not, shaped their experiences. The lower-class women in this study actively and creatively identified ways to overcome the reproductive limits they faced. Given their access to medicine, many higher-class women continued to pursue medical treatment for their infertility. Ultimately, the study reveals the social and cultural forces surrounding reproduction, family, motherhood, and health.

▼ Abstract: The present thesis discusses the theme of
medicalization of children at schools in the light of psychanalysis. In order to do so, a research was developed in a school community in the city of Campinas-SP, having as procedure and instrument the participative observation inside a public school, with regular visits twice a week and accompanying a 5º grade morning class. Individual interviews with the institution¿s principals and a conversation group with the teachers, focusing on
medicalization of children and its relation with schooling, were made. From a universe of thirty-one children, ranging from 9 to 12 years old, twenty-nine participated in an activity to think about school. Nineteen participated in the telling of a tale, followed by a circle of talks and textual production. All activities developed were of a non-obligatory character. The material of some camp notes, interviews and talk circles was audio recorded and transcribed in order to favor the analysis of the data, which was treated using the psychoanalytical method. The results showed that the principals and the teachers never participated in any course about the
subject of
medicalization at schools, except some rare punctual actions. For the teachers, the expression
medicalization shows itself as a synonym of medication. Besides that, the doubt about when to medicate a child, in order to make his course-process of schooling more beneficial, appears as an enigma. The teachers with more than ten years of practice revealed that a few years ago the children were less medicated, which can suggest the pathologization of the child in course-process of schooling in the contemporaneity. The teachers also bring the diachronic perception about what a medicated child will comprehend of this experience in the future. And they understand that the school continues to work as a "traditional school" of little flexibility in dealing with children; maybe in this dimension, the
medicalization finds its driving force. In relation to the work with children, the "school lunch" possess a political dimension and can, in some cases, relate itself to the stigmatization of "being poor"; the idea of "mess" works as an organizer of subjectivity; the children comprehend the school as a place of belonging (topophilia), recognize the efforts of the management to provide the needs of the community and externalize that the teachers are "nice", have a good formation and are dedicated. In the telling of a tale, the analysis involved four scenes with different focuses and dedicated, more deeply, in the elementary functions of the constitution of the
subject and its relation with the support: the
medicalization beyond the eye

▼ Even now, sexual fetishism is discussed by specific sciences, such as medicine, psychiatry, psychology. These sciences claim that physical structures, growth experience, and mentality will bring about the desire for nonliving objects. However, the viewpoints overemphasize innateness and individuality also neglecting the social factors. Therefore, this study focuses on the phenomenon that sexual fetishism is often discoursed by medical knowledge, and it aims to know how sexual fetishism is medicalized. Through news analysis and deep-depth interview, this study also concentrates on the processes of representing sexual fetishism from the media, and the question about how sexual fetishists perceive their own sex from self-narratives.
Over half century, the image of sexual fetishism that medium represent influence our knowing about this sex. Superficially, this image is connected with some stereotypes, such as a sickness, a deviant behavior, and a disordered character. Actually, it reflects the process of making a disease. At first, sexual fetishism didnât exist. Then, it was joined to some deviant behaviors; after that, it was given the medical definition (by medium). After passing the Mental Health Act in 1990, sexual fetishism becomes an object that medicine discusses and judiciary judges. Additionally, the image of sexual fetishism also reflects the medical development in Taiwan.
Based on the medical perspective, parts of sexual fetishists form their own statements about the reality they desire for objects, but not all statements include the biological and psychological knowledge. They also reveal the influence of real environment, power relationship, and general/erotic scripts on developing sexual fetishism. In other words, sexual fetishism is the consequence of complex social interactions. However, the development of sexual fetishism has the social factors, but sex is still regarded as heterosexual and desire-for-body in the society. Thus, in order to protect sexual fetishism from gazes and blames, sexual fetishists have to manage their own sexual identities.

▼ Mestrado em Antropologia
In the past fifty years, pregnancy has gained a lot of interest in social sciences in
correspondence with the surge of the body as systematic category of analysis.
The pregnant body seems to become a hyper-body on which simultaneously operate
biopolitics, economic forces and social imaginaries, all engaged in the creation of a new,
dynamic ethic of reproduction.
This thesis is an in-depth exploration of the unfolding of my lived experience of pregnancy on
the background of the biomedical landscape. Moreover, it analyses the sharing of this
experience with three pregnant women that, like me, immigrated in Portugal.
It is developed within a phenomenological and critical frame, and takes the form of a
dialogue, a dialectical alternation between the autoethnography of my pregnancy and the
reflections it triggered in terms of embodiment, medicalization and socialization.
The pregnant embodiment that emerges is a liminal one: challenging postulates of subjectivity
and individuality, it reflects the complexity of being at once an “I”, (eu) and an “us” (somos).
Nos últimos 50 anos a gravidez tem se revelado um assunto relevante na área das ciências sociais.

By Robert D Wood, M.S.
A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Virginia Commonwealth University
Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011
Major Director: Sarah Jane Brubaker, PhD, Graduate Program of Sociology
This thesis investigates the
medicalization of “inadequate penis size” through an analysis of online advertising of “male enhancement,” or erectile enhancement (EE) products. The process of
medicalization, as defined by Peter Conrad, is the process by which non-medical problems become defined and treated as such (2007). With the advent and success of Viagra (Sildenafil) in 1998, a wave of products emerged treating erectile dysfunction and not long after followed the expansion of the market for erectile enhancement.
Although several studies have been done of erectile dysfunction, there has been less research on the advertisement techniques within the erectile enhancement market. Brubaker and Johnson's article “'Pack a more powerful punch' and 'lay the pipe': erectile enhancement discourse as a body project for masculinity” dissects such advertising for overarching themes of violence, the subjugation of women, and the perpetuation of hegemonic masculinity (2008). This analysis was done in 2006, and evidence presented in this thesis suggests that the advertising techniques, particularly as they appear in erectile enhancement websites, show some dramatic differences in presentation and themes. These more recent advertisements seem to reflect a more medical approach, emphasizing an authoritative medical appearance, downplaying violent, misogynistic, or sexist undertones consistent with much of erectile enhancement advertising. This new medical approach is a metaphorical Trojan horse, sneaking in and maintaining older concepts of domination and violence. The background of hegemonic masculinity in erectile enhancement advertising is continued under the guise of medical professionalism. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of ten erectile enhancement product websites, I show how the advertising involved in this industry has attempted to medicalize the small penis in hopes of marketing an “inadequate penis” as a more legitimate, medical concern. This study thus contributes to a better understanding of the changing social concepts of manhood, how the process of
medicalization works, and how it can be seen within the area of erectile enhancement.

▼ Claims makers in the social problem game successfully constructed youth sporting concussions in Ontario as a social problem in need of remedying after the death of 17-year old Rowan Stringer on the rugby field in 2013. Rowan’s Law was implemented five years later in 2018 to attempt to identify and manage youth concussion injuries. The present study explores the impact of Rowan’s Law on coaches in minor league hockey at the triple A Bantam (U15) and Midget (U17) levels. The goal of this study was to determine if the policy change of Rowan’s Law was facilitating change on the cultural level of sport where athletes are socialized into a style of play which values athletes who risk their bodies for sport, play through pain and hide injury. I conducted 12 in-depth interviews with coaches. I utilized a social constructionist framework to study the social problem of youth sporting concussions which has become increasingly medicalized. The results of this study provide evidence that Rowan’s Law may be enacting some cultural change at the coaching level, but ultimately it is not enough to enact an across the board cultural change at the coaching level. This study ultimately concludes that the policy change as a result of successful claims making did not result in the cultural change necessary to prevent 1) coaches from knowingly or unknowingly returning athletes to play too soon and 2) athletes from returning to play after experiencing concussion pain or injury.

▼ Birth Visionaries: An Examination of Unassisted
Childbirth By Lauren Ashley Brown Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber, Thesis
Chair This exploratory study inquires into unassisted childbirth,
the act of giving birth without the presence of any birth
professional (doctor, midwife or doula). Unassisted birth is on the
radical fringe of alternatives to the dominant techno-medical birth
common in American hospitals today. My research questions are what
are women's motivations for choosing unassisted childbirth and what
is the lived experience of unassisted childbirth? I will answer
these questions through nine in-depth interviews and a grounded
theory data analysis. My approach comes from a focus on the
everyday lived experience of women as problematic as well as
insights from anthropology of birth and feminist postmodern
sociology of knowledge. This study is relevant to public health
policy on pregnancy and birth, to those working on questions of
technology and culture, and to those concerned with how biosocial
rituals shape embodied experience. My findings also contribute to
research about power in contemporary society, specifically how the
body can be a cite for social control and resistance.

Traumatizing Politics: Legibility and Survivorhood after Domestic Violence.

▼ This research asks: how and why has domestic violence been medicalized, and what are the effects of this shift on feminist politics and on victims themselves? This dissertation explores this question through 18 months of qualitative research, including archival research on the history of feminist anti-violence activism, in-depth interviews with domestic violence professionals, and life story interviews with victims of domestic violence. This project argues that the articulation of therapeutic practices to feminist logics in the domestic violence field has produced a new "politics of survivorhood" that women must navigate when they seek resources after violence. In order to become "good survivors," women must learn to perform psychological, sexual, and maternal wellness. This emphasis on women's performances of psychological betterment makes invisible the structural conditions that shape women's experiences of violence. Overall, then, this dissertation argues that the expert terms provided to women to make meaning about their experiences and rebuild their lives after abuse are inadequate for navigating the structures of violence and institutional pressures they encounter.
The first part of the dissertation traces the historical production of the politics of survivorhood, revealing how anti-violence feminists made themselves into an expert field legible to the state by constructing the figure of the battered woman as a psychologically suffering
subject. The following chapters reveal how women make themselves legible to the politics of survivorhood as they seek services. For women of color and undocumented women especially, narratives and performances of "survivorhood" must be accompanied by "respectable" sexuality and motherhood. This dissertation also explores women's strategies for making legible their experiences that fall outside the bounds of survivor discourses, particularly around heterosexuality and non-physical forms of abuse, such as "gaslighting," a type of psychological violence. Drawing on these findings, this dissertation argues that domestic violence should not be conceptualized as a set of discrete events, but as "routines of rupture," rooted in the association of femininity with irrationality. The final chapter explores the centrality of heterosexuality in women's experiences of violence, showing how women "disidentify" from heterosexuality as they rebuild their lives. In general, this dissertation argues that the politics of survivorhood places demands of legibility on women's lives that constrain their practices of survival, femininity, and sexuality, while women also negotiate those logics to meet their own needs.

Reproducing Intersex Trouble: An Analysis of the M.C. Case in the Media.
Degree: 2018, University of South Florida

▼ How do members of the media represent intersex people? Do the voices of intersex activists find their way into mainstream media representations, or are they ignored? What types of discourses are produced by the presence (or lack thereof) of activist voices in news articles? The goal of this thesis is to interrogate the discourse surrounding intersex, or individuals who fall outside of the typical male/female binary for sex classification, and intersex activism in the media. The legal case M.C. vs. Aaronson, settled in 2017, was one of the first legal cases in the United States involving an intersex person. This thesis analyzes the media coverage of this case. As much of the public is still unaware of the issues facing intersex people today, media representations of intersex have the ability to make great strides in promoting awareness about the goals of intersex activism. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the way that media representations construct ideas about intersex and intersex activism. Utilizing feminist critical discourse analysis in conjunction with a “Media Guide” produced by a leading intersex organization called InterACT, I dissect seven articles written about the M.C. vs Aaronson case to study the way that their authors reproduce harmful ideas about intersex people. I focus on four specific aspects of these articles: the way they utilize photos of babies and children, the erasure of M.C.’s race, the way the articles discuss sex and gender, and who is quoted in each article. I also make the case that the InterACT “Media Guide”, while a step in the right direction, continues the perpetuation of dangerous intersex tropes.

▼ This dissertation explores the knowledge systems that doulas use to legitimate their work to the medical community, and to clients. "Doula" comes from a Greek word that means "a woman who serves." In contemporary English, doulas are women who provide other women with support during labor and childbirth. Although research shows that doula support can have positive physiological and psychological effects, doulas' lower social status in the birth fields constricts their reach to those who know about and can hire them privately. In the United States, obstetricians have authoritative knowledge over birth, and all others fall beneath them in the hierarchy of medicine. Doulas serve as a case for exploring the importance of certification and science, versus alternative forms of knowledge for legitimating their expertise within the field of childbirth. This research uses a mixed methods approach to explore the roles that authoritative versus alternative sources of knowledge play in doulas' attitudes and approaches to childbirth. Data come from the Maternity Support Survey, an original, cross-national survey of nurses, doulas, and childbirth educators in the United States and Canada. I also rely on content analysis of five large doula organizations' websites, and interviews with twenty-five doulas, and twenty-five mothers who hired or considered hiring a doula to support them during labor and delivery. This mixed methods research looks at how doulas can legitimate their role in order to better serve women.Results suggest that both authoritative knowledge systems (such as certification) and alternative knowledge systems (such as feminism) influence doulas' approach to legitimating their work. Scientific evidence serves as both an authoritative and alternative source of knowledge, depending on the context. This research has important implications for the future of doula support; while alternative knowledge systems allow doulas to empower women and challenge the dominance of medicalized birth, authoritative knowledge systems allow doulas greater access to the women who need them most. In order to reach a greater population of women, doulas need to find a balance between challenging authoritative medicine and working within it to best serve women.

▼ Estudiantes universitarios en Ciencias de la Salud son típicamente bien educados, preocupados con la salud y son un grupo relativamente homogéneo y privilegiado con respecto a la cultura y el estatus socioeconómico, que sin duda representa un gran potencial para el liderazgo futuro que puede influir con cierta facilidad a otros grupos sociales en distintos momentos del ciclo de vida, tomando el papel de
agentes de cambio. En nuestra sociedad y cultura actual, encontramos hoy fenomenologías que conocemos, pero que no son, de hecho, fáciles de estudiar, como la medicalización de la sociedad, el fenómeno de la comorbilidad, iatrogenia y la prevención cuaternaria, además de toda la complejidad relacionada con la medicina en general. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar y caracterizar las
prácticas de salud/enfermedad de este grupo de estudiantes, así como entender las representaciones sociales de los médicos, fármacos y medicina, desarrollando un objeto teórico en diversos grados sobre el cuál se realizó el análisis. En particular, nos hemos centrado en comprender si hay prácticas de medicalización que promueven la autonomía y/o dependencia de los individuos, las nuevas formas de
gestión del cuerpo y del bienestar, prácticas de riesgo, la automedicación, creencias sobre la medicina, metáforas sobre fármacos, así como si hay una alineación con la prevención cuaternaria. 502 estudiantes universitarios de ciencias de la salud participaron de la encuesta mediante uno cuestionario. El estudio
fue exploratorio descriptivo y transversal. Los resultados fueron sometidos a un análisis descriptivo e inferencial, utilizando en este caso la prueba de chi-cuadrado análisis factorial y análisis de los principales componentes con nivel de significación p<=0,05 Encontramos señales de sentido común y de pensamiento crítico en las decisiones tomadas y no se encontraron diferencias significativas en el
género, lo que nos lleva a la pregunta: ¿cómo será la sociedad del futuro? Los estudiantes encuestados también parecen resistirse al consumo de productos de salud, incluso cuando tienen certificación médica, pues consideran que la medicina actual presenta algunos riesgos. Los estudiantes universitarios de Ciencias de la Salud de hoy, pueden llegar a ser los futuros interlocutores de los políticos y sus políticas
para implementar los cambios sociales en los itinerarios de la salud/enfermedad, de los individuos y de las poblaciones. Sin duda, un gran desafío.

▼ The question this dissertation seeks to address is if the process of disease mongering can be ethically assessed. Chapter one provides a broad scope of the ethical challenge of disease mongering, UNESCO model framework, ADHD and PMDD. Chapter two examines disease mongering and its driving forces in detail. Chapter three provides an overview of the UNESCO model framework. Chapter four ethically examines disease mongering in conjunction with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Chapter five examines disease mongering in association with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Chapter six concludes that examined through the UNESCO model ethical framework disease mongering is occurring for both ADHD and PMDD, and provides remarks for the addressing this in the future.
