Abstract

Many extant theories of placebo focus on their causal structure wherein placebo effects are those that originate from select features of the therapy (e.g., client expectations or "incidental" features like size and shape). Although such accounts can distinguish placebos from standard medical treatments, they cannot distinguish placebos from everyday occurrences, for example, when positive feedback improves our performance on a task. Providing a social-epistemological account of a treatment context can rule out such occurrences, and furthermore reveal a new way to distinguish clinical placebos from standard medical treatments.

临床安慰剂的社会认识论》。
许多现存的安慰剂理论都将重点放在其因果结构上,即安慰剂效应源于疗法的特定特征(如客户期望或大小和形状等 "偶然 "特征)。虽然这种说法可以将安慰剂与标准医疗区分开来,但却无法将安慰剂与日常现象区分开来,例如,当积极反馈提高了我们的任务绩效时。对治疗环境进行社会认识论解释可以排除此类情况的发生,并进一步揭示了区分临床安慰剂和标准医疗的新方法。

期刊介绍: This bimonthly publication explores the shared themes and concerns of philosophy and the medical sciences. Central issues in medical research and practice have important philosophical dimensions, for, in treating disease and promoting health, medicine involves presuppositions about human goals and values. Conversely, the concerns of philosophy often significantly relate to those of medicine, as philosophers seek to understand the nature of medical knowledge and the human condition in the modern world. In addition, recent developments in medical technology and treatment create moral problems that raise important philosophical questions. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy aims to provide an ongoing forum for the discussion of such themes and issues.
