Читать книгу Placebo: Mind over Matter in Modern Medicine - Dylan Evans - Страница 3

From the reviews of Placebo:

‘The placebo effect is fundamental to medical treatment, and this book brilliantly explores the scientific evidence in an accessible and gripping manner’

LEWIS WOLPERT

‘The placebo effect, of such huge importance in our lives, is an effect which, according to conventional scientific wisdom, ought not to exist. Now, out of left field, springs a modern-day philosopher with challenging – and persuasive – ideas about what the effect amounts to and why’

NICHOLAS HUMPHREY

‘A thoroughly engaging way into this debate’

ANNABELLE MARK, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

‘Extremely interesting, fair and scrupulously written … This book allows us to see where we are at present and therefore in what directions we might move, in what should properly be recognised as an important branch of medicine’

QUENTIN DE LA BÉDOYÈRE, Catholic Herald

‘If you want to know exactly how science intends to invade the human realm, then this is a very good place to start’

BRIAN APPLEYARD, New Statesman

‘Fascinating’

PHIL WHITAKER, Guardian

‘Admirably clear and commonsensical … from the point of view of increasing our knowledge, if not our comfort, Mr Evans has performed a useful service’

ANTHONY DANIELS, Sunday Telegraph
