Das Wort Placebo – zunächst ein Fachwort der medizinischen Forschung – ist aus dem Sprachgebrauch nicht mehr wegzudenken. Der Placebo-Effekt zeigt, dass es eine durch ein Placebo hervorgerufene physiologische Wirkung geben kann; und solch ein Placebo kann sogar nicht nur zu positiven Effekten führen, sondern es kann auch negative (unerwünschte) Wirkungen erzeugen.

McNeill’s highly acclaimed work is a brilliant and challenging account of the effects of disease on human history. His sophisticated analysis and detailed grasp of the subject make this book fascinating to listen to.
