{"product_id":"deviance-and-medicalization-peter-conrad-9780877229995","title":"Deviance and Medicalization: From Badness to Sickness","description":"This classic text on the nature of deviance, originally published in 1980, is now reissued with a new Afterword by the authors. In this new edition of their award-winning book, Conrad and Schneider investigate the origins and contemporary consequences of the medicalization of deviance. They examine specific cases--madness, alcoholism, opiate addiction, homosexuality, delinquency, and child abuse--and draw out their theoretical and policy implications. In a new chapter, the authors address developments in the last decade--including AIDS, domestic violence, co-dependency, hyperactivity in children, and learning disabilities--and they discuss the fate of medicalization in the 1990s with the changes in medicine and continued restrictions on social services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877229996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877229995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.99h x 6.86w x 0.86d","brand":"Peter Conrad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072863924479,"sku":"9780877229995","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bfc5de5-4a2f-441b-825c-c1512c1b7f4b.jpg?v=1685444383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deviance-and-medicalization-peter-conrad-9780877229995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
