The inexorable broadening of medical jurisdiction was questioned, as authors acknowledged that there were also processes of de-medicationalization being driven by a variety of subjects; they critiqued a vision of medicine that stresses only its normative and authority-conferring abilities, which reduces it to a device for social control, ignoring its healing potential.
