ABSTRACT

The rationality to abandon the confusing term "effect or response to placebo" is reviewed, from the recognition that it is absurd to attribute physiological effects to a chemically inert substance. The data that support rationality to assume the concept "response to meaning" is appraised, and an attempted is made to demonstrate the connection that this could have with the patient centered medicine in the Michael Balint’s idea. Also, a perspective is drawn to prevent chronic disease based on the concept of "basic failure" if the general / family doctor assumes the task of understanding the meanings of the patient from a perspective that combines clinical objectivity and empathy.
