Medicalisation in the Post-Genomic Era: Transformations in Identity, Autonomy, and Ethics.
Clin Ter
February 2025
Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Foggia, Foggia, Italy.
The advent of the post-genomic society has fundamentally transformed the concept of medicalisation, expanding its scope from disease treatment to reshaping personal identity, autonomy, and societal norms. This paper examines the profound implications of genomic knowledge on individual and collective experiences, exploring its dual roles as a liberating force and a source of new constraints. Key areas of focus include the intersection of genomic data with social structures, the ethical tensions faced by healthcare professionals, and the evolving roles of patients and research subjects in the context of predictive and precision medicine.

Department of Medical Ethics, Philosophy and History of Medicine, Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Using the journal of the Dutch Diabetics Association (), the article provides insight into the role of an early patient organisation in conceptualising the chronic disease diabetes and its management in the Netherlands between 1945 and 1970. The dual aims of discipline (steered by health professionals) and independence (steered by diabetics) were reconciled through the concept of balance during the 1940s and 1950s. Organised diabetics played a particularly large role, and independence got particular emphasis as a consequence.

Objective: To consider the contribution of non-clinical factors in the rising rate of mental health presentations and explore the associated silence within the psychiatric profession.
Conclusion: Medicalisation, concept creep and group think, alongside societal demand and expectations, have collectively contributed toward a distorted view of mental health and illness. Equitable service provision has been hindered by the silence of important perspectives.
Illness and (hyper)masculinity in 'HIMM' comics from the USA.
Med Humanit
February 2024
Inglés, Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir, Godella, Spain
In this essay, I analyse HIMM comics from the USA, a specific textualisation of graphic medicine/pathography that deals with a variety of illness experiences by male cartoonists. It is my contention that, in the existing literature, the motif of masculinity in autobiographical health-related comics is an underdeveloped area of academic enquiry. As a result, my analysis focuses on how three North American men depict ill health in their work in relation to existing sociological understandings of male behaviour.
