Die Kraft der Erwartung nutzen

Placebo-Effekte fördern und Nocebo-Effekte vermeiden – das ist bei nahezu jeder Behandlung sinnvoll und möglich. Jeder Eingriff, jede Medikamenteneinnahme, Neurostimulation oder Physiotherapie unterliegt auch einem Erwartungseffekt. Für Therapeut^*innen ist wichtig zu wissen, wie sie durch authentische und empathische Kommunikation ihre Patient^*innen unterstützen können. Am Beispiel der Placeboanalgesie lassen sich Effekte, Mechanismen und kommunikative Aspekte besonders gut zeigen.
