It understands the complexity of such phenomenon and highlights, amongst its components, the transformation of questions of diferente orders, issues into pathologies of the individuals. It argues against the medicalization process to maintain the autonomy and the diversity of the individuals. The inventive contribution of this research ─ the educational product ─ proposes an e-book entitled “An Initial Conversation about the Medicalization Phenomenon, its Compositions and Effects” which aims at fostering the continuing education measures for feeding the critical thinking about the phenomenon of the medicalization of Education and society and as well as promoting the development of the demedicalization process.
