Extract

This report describes a placebo strategy which engendered a reasonable degree of positive expectation in 10 Generalized Anxiety Disorder patients and was perceived by them as being credible, sensible and appropriate at pre- and post-therapy and at six month follow-up. The significant improvement noted on a range of measures suggests that the strategy is not inert.
