The Biomedicalization Era: A Critical Exploration of Health and Society

Biomedicalization is the increasing reliance on medical technologies and interventions to solve social and cultural problems. It has led to a medicalization of everyday life, in which more and more aspects of our lives are seen as medical problems.

The book concludes with a discussion of the future of biomedicalization and its implications for society.
The Biomedicalization Era is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of health, medicine, and society. It is a well-written and engaging book that will challenge you to think about the way we approach health in the 21st century.
