fpq-7285	Gosselin, Abigail	“Clinician Knows Best”? Injustices in the Medicalization of Mental Illness	2019	40	.pdf	application/pdf	16517	1102	50	When it conceives of mental disorders as defects of the person, it endorses a stereotype of people with mental illness as incompetent, which enables the exploitation, manipulation, coercion, and epistemically unjust treatment of people with serious mental disorders. When medicalization locates mental disorders solely as problems of individual biology, without regard to social factors, and when it treats mental disorders as personal defects, it perpetuates injustice in several ways: by enabling biased diagnoses through stereotyping, by exploiting and coercing people who are seen as insufficiently competent, and by perpetuating idealized conceptions of choice and control that do not take into account people’s real limitations and the social context of health.	cache/fpq-7285.pdf	txt/fpq-7285.txt
