To Kaptchuk, the placebo effect is brought about by much more than sugar pills and saline injections. It's about the whole drama or theater of medicineâessentially the context of the encounter between patient and physicianâas much as treatment itself.The placebo effect is the effect of everything surrounding the fake pill, or the real pill, he says.It's the compassion, trust, and care. It's the ritual and symbols. It's the doctor-patient interaction..he placebo effect has always been real it has just taken science/medicine time to move slightly beyond the borders of its materialistic/mechanistic world. But the placebo factor, while it plays a part, does not mean the medical treatment is placebo.
