Samenvatting
Er is groeiend empirisch bewijs dat conditioneringsprocessen, het manipuleren van verwachtingen en de reductie van negatieve gevoelens een placebo- (of nocebo-)effect in werking kunnen zetten. De arts-patiëntcommunicatie biedt mogelijkheden om deze mechanismen te beïnvloeden. Het is voor de effectiviteit van de behandeling van belang dat huisartsen zich bewust zijn van deze mechanismen en de werking ervan proberen in te schatten. Zij kunnen doelgerichte communicatie hierbij op verschillende manieren als instrument gebruiken.
