What is this for? A levels? Which exam board? (Just curious!)

You can possibly use drug therapy and talk about how its used to control behaviour in society e.g. drugs such as chorpromazine used on schizophrenics to stop their symptoms and allow them to conform to behaviour to what society expects. You can also talk about power issues as the psychiatrist may choose to administer drugs rather than the patient.
