Exploring the historical and conceptual evolution of placebos and placebo effects, this book addresses the ambiguity surrounding these terms in both medical and philosophical contexts. It delves into the definitions of placebos, questioning whether they signify inert treatments or broader aspects of patient-physician interactions. The text also examines the implications of this confusion, making it a valuable resource for physicians, philosophers, psychologists, and anyone intrigued by the dynamics of the physician-patient relationship and the complexities of treatment effects.
