About This Item
London: HarperCollins, 2004. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback, very good condition, minor edgewear. 224 pp. Dylan Evans provides a brilliant exploration of the evidence for placebo effect. He exposes the flaws in the scientific research into the placebo effect and reveals the limits of what can and cannot be cured by thought alone (the belief effect). Drawing on new ideas in immunology and evolutionary biology, Evans proposes a new theory about how placebos work, and asks some searching questions about our concepts of health and disease.
