Document Summary
Belief that pill is the way to fix everything. We just sit there and just accept what the doctors say we are not asked our opinion. No they will help you after too. The medical model use to think that placebo were irrevalant. Double blind -participant and researcher are both blind. But control alone indicates something else altogether. Therefore dophemine is released in both groups. The medical model is starting to pay attention to this because of the evidence. If patients cannot find anything wrong with them the doctor gives them a placebo and there is many studies that shown that there placebo work. Placebo can work the other way if you tell the patient they will die in 6 months. You can be addicted to the expectations. Is it ethical for doctors to deliberately use placebos on their patients. A new method for studying the placebo response (produces a kind of reverse placebo effect.
