There were no topics discussed that are not discussed in the literature.
Which recent developments in the field are discussed?
There was always an discussion about giving placebos to people who suffer from a disease. The question was if this is ethical, because the person is being fooled. Nowadays, we have the open label placebo. With this, the doctor tells the patient that he is going to get a placebo to stop his pain for example, but the doctor tells him also that he thinks this will work. Now the patient knows that it is a medicine without a working substance and he can give permission.
In the 20th century people were testing if ECT should help people with psychological diseases. There were many people who died because of these treatments. With ECT your body gets an enormous shock, which can result in breaking bones and a vague feeling in the brain. Nowadays, we are much more careful with this treatment. Before we use it on a patient, we give him muscle relaxants. In this way, there won’t be broken bones.
