Description

The social constructionist approach to health and illness has criticized the biomedical approach, and has adopted social models. Health and illness were considered to be not biophysical but social phenomena. As a result, the critical stance of social constructionism could not have any clinical effect on the sick. It therefore adopted psychosomatics. But psychosomatics and molecular genetics have given rise to new biopolitics, which have intervened in psychology, society, and the body.<BR>We consider health and illness as phenomena of biopower. Therefore, we will investigate how biopower should be politicized.
