Talking Cures and Placebo Effects - International Perspectives in Philosophy & Psychiatry
Jopling, David A. (Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, York University, Toronto, Canada)
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have had to defend themselves from a barrage of criticisms throughout their history. In this book David Jopling argues that the changes achieved through therapy are really just functions of placebos that rally the mind's native healing powers. It is a bold new work that delivers yet another blow to Freud and his followers.
