Mesmerism • Wakeful state of focused beliefHeightened relaxation andsuggestibility, connecting each other through magnetic fluid. In the movie, with the Mesmer’s therapeutic method, patients actually experienced easing pain and decreasing symptoms.
Placebo effect HOPE vs. EPOH case Mesmer's therapeutic method can be almost explained by ‘placebo effect’.
Placebo effect Placebo means it is a substance with no specific therapeutic activity. Placebo effect occurs when a patient's symptoms are altered in some way by a treatment, due to the individual psychological expectation suggestion from an authority figure believingthat it will work. .
Placebo effect Placebo means ‘I will please him’ , which indicates a belief that the effect was due to a subconscious desire of the patient to please the doctor. • Placebo effect is in the patient, not the doctor
Nocebo effects • Due to the subject's pessimistic belief and expectation that the inert drug would produce harmful results. (even though these responses had not been chemically generated.)
