The majority of positive responses to placebo treatments are related to a caring therapeutic relationship. If a patient were to take a placebo on his or her own without the involvement of a physician, it would not be sufficient, scientists are convinced. To be effective, it must be administered by someone in whom the patient has great trust. Ted Kaptchuk head of a Harvards-study program to investigate placebos in the therapeutic relationship (PiPS) said to it in a NPR-interview: “A sugar pill alone does nothing. What works is the therapeutic context. It’s the rituals of healing. The fact that a healing relationship is formed… But the placebo pill or the injection of a saline solution \u2013 those are wonderful tools to be able to look at something that normally happens in the background in isolation; to be able to detach it from medications and medical procedures and examine the act of caring treatment on its own. I think that’s what we’re measuring when we study the placebo effect.”<\/span><\/p>

Taboo:<\/span><\/p>

Sometimes patients develop a kind of romantic feeling for their doctor.<\/span><\/p>

Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s okay and will subside.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
