Meaning, Medicine and the 'Placebo Effect' - Cambridge Studies in Medical Anthropology
Moerman, Daniel E. (University of Michigan, Dearborn)

For example, inert drugs (placebos) often have dramatic effects on people. This 2002 book guides the reader expertly through a very complex body of literature.
