The Placebo Effect
An Interdisciplinary Exploration
A mere symbol of medicine--the sugar pill, saline injection, doctor in a white lab coat--the placebo nonetheless sometimes produces real results. Medical science has largely managed its discomfort with this phenomenon by discounting the placebo effect, subtracting it as an impurity in its data through double-blind tests of new treatments and drugs. This book is committed to a different perspective--namely, that the placebo effect is a real entity in its own right, one that has much to teach us about how symbols, settings, and human relationships literally get under our skin.< P>
