Abstract
The author has been tackling the research issue of transformations of modern medicine in the late-modern period in developed countries. In this article, three studies that have been working on the same topic, that is, the “medicalization” study, the “pharmaceuticalization” study, and the “biomedicalization” study, will be reviewed so that noticeable transformations the author has overlooked can be found, and crucial perspectives that lack of my research can be added.
