Midwest Book Review Nowadays, we will only buy [readers] if they combine an excellence of editorial taste and readability that beats the temptation of downloading our own selection directly from a journal archive. In this regard, I must admit that the editors of this placebo reader have succeeded in producing a volume worth buying... each section is preceded by a short (but incisive) introduction intended as a road map of the papers to come. These are short and clear, and very accessible for the lay reader. -- David Teira, Ph.D., UNED Metapsychology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: The Concept and Significance of The Placebo Effect\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.
