In the current article we intend to perform a critical analysis concerning the social medicalization phenomenon and its expression in education by using the epistemological-scientific framework of the social determination of the health- disease social process. A large part of the current elaborations incur to the pharmaceutical industry the role of medicalising major factor. However, the expansion of the production and consumption of the acts, technologies and health services, “squaring” each dimension of life under the dictations of biomedicine, is only the most visible demonstration of a more complex and profound process: the movement of increasing production of responses in the biomedical field to demonstrations of social contradictions. It was found that this process is also in the field of education, for example, in seeking to respond to the training needs of individuals adapted to current social relationships.
