An article by written by faculty of the Harvard History of Science Department and the Program in Placebo Studies explores how “drug marketing portrays idealized scientific relationships between psychopharmaceuticals and depression … and how the placebo effect has become a critical issue in these debates, including the possible role of drug advertising to influence the placebo effect directly.” The article appears in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine.
Brilliant article. Thanks for posting.

Thank you. I debated the “newsiness” of this but decided in the end (after consulting with Bob) that it was too good not to put up. Your response is gratifying. Thanks again.

I am glad you did. I would not have seen it and it is one of the best discussions of this topic I have read. I am passing it around!
