On the web, you can try searching this by combining a few separate key words and phrases at a time, for example: "science fiction" medicalization "social deviance" site:edu or fiction medicalization "social deviance" site:gov. The site limiters may help you limit to studies written by researchers in universities or government agencies.
If you are near a large academic library, it is well worth trying their subscription databases such as Academic Search Premier, JSTOR, or Literature Resource Center. Even many public libraries will have Literature Resource Center, which gets 56 hits in its (default) "literature criticism" section for the full text search: medicalization and deviance. Many of the big full text databases let you do "proximity search", so that words in the often long articles have to occur within a certain number of words of each other - in at least one part of the article. For example, JSTOR gets 24 articles for the (default full text) search: "deviance medicalization"~30 AND fiction. Results may vary at other universities/colleges, because JSTOR offers different "packages" of journals. In Academic Search Premier, you have to "select a field" TX-AllText, in the advanced search, and the proximity search is done differently: deviance n30 medicalization AND fiction gets 9 articles. There are many other places to look for this, but these databases might give you a good start, with leads in their cited references to many more articles.
