Question

Specific term required. Ian Hacking’s essay “Making Up People” lists this process as the fifth of ten engines of the title concept, after correlation, and makes reference to the modern conception of child abuse only coming about around 1960. Ivan Ilich introduced the sociological term “iatrogenesis” to refer to negative effects of this process. (-5[2])This process is posited as a method of social control (15[1])in an essay (15[1])that notes that cross-cultural studies of this process often focus on anorexia in non-Western countries. (15[1])Peter Conrad's 1975 book about this process uses the example of (*) hyperkinesis and notes that the prevalence of “hyperkinetic disorder” steadily increased after the discovery of Ritalin. (10[1])This process targets “deviant behavior” and is sometimes derided as “disease mongering.” For 10 points, name this process (10[1])by which problems are labeled and treated as medical (10[1]-5[1])disorders. ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: medicalization [or pathologization; accept disease mongering until read; prompt on diagnosis by asking "Increased diagnosis is reflective of what process?"; reject "medication]
