Resumo
This text is a book´s review towards the first edition of “Medicalization of children
and adolescents: conflicts silenced by the reduction of social issues to diseases of
individuals”, which discusses the publication´s relevance as a criticism of (psycho)
pathologies and their treatments. The book succeeds in rigorously deconstructing
the “science” that legitimates the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), exposing how the pharmaceutical industry has been systematically concealing
the profound collateral effects of the methylphenidate, the drug which treats
it. The publication also presents papers by health and education practitioners,
representing a remarkable effort directed to change the child/adolescent health
care and education.
