The diagnoses in clinical medicine of a patient or group in the population as deviating from the medical definition of normal. In Foucault’s sociology the proposition is that concepts of normality are constructed by state and professional healing and helping occupations to facilitate the regulation of the population. Thus the contrast with abnormality is not ‘normal’ but the processes of normalization, in which individuals internalize professionally defined and enforced norms of behavior and regulate themselves (Bachelard; bodyism; Canguihelm; fitness; normal; psyprofessions; somatization; technologies of the self)
