It matters, too, how the treatment is delivered. Decades ago, when the major tranquilliser 
chlorpromazine was being introduced, a doctor in Kansas categorised his colleagues 
according to whether they were keen on it

openly sceptical of its benefits, or took a 
"let’s try and see

’ attitude. His conclusion: the more enthusiastic the doctor, the better 
the drug performed. And this, year Ernst surveyed published studies that compared 
doctors' bedside manners. The studies turned up one consistent finding: "Physicians who 
adopt a warm, friendly and reassuring manner," he reported, "are more effective than 
those whose consultations are formal and do not offer reassurance” 

Warm, friendly and reassuring are precisely CAM

s strong suits, of course. Many ofthe 
ingredients of that opening recipe 
— the physical contact, the generous swathes of time
the strong hints of supernormal healing power 

are just the kind of thing likely to impress 
patients. It’s hardly surprising, then, that complementary practitioners are generally best 
at mobilising the placebo effect, says Arthur Kleinman, professor of social anthropology 
at Harvard University.
