Review of Nunn's 'After Placebo: in medical research and clinical practice' [Book Review]

, , &

Abstract

Nunn's critique of the placebo concept is a radical and refreshing contribution to the debate. While there is much that can be contested in his analysis, his use of empirical and theoretical arguments to defend his conclusion - that the time has come to abandon the placebo construct altogether - presents an important challenge.
