Resumo: In this essay, we explore possibilities of using the concept of healthism, as discussed by Robert Crawford in 1980. We emphasize the individualized dimension exposed in the development of this concept, presenting it as a central aspect in medical discourse, which operates on the basis of dominant idea of health promotion and its related actions. This centrality occupies a strategic place in the present time, inasmuch as it impels depoliticized and authoritarian practices and a sanitary morality, consistent with neoliberal rationality.
