title: [Placebo-controlled studies with mianserin. Discussion from the viewpoint of a re-evaluated placebo concept].
abstract: In this paper the literature on placebo-controlled studies with Mianserin is being commented in view of the enclosed discourse "Placebo: Beyond pretense and nuisance variable." This paper's purpose is to enrich the understanding of the effect of a drug under everyday therapeutic conditions, an understanding, that derives from the physicians synthesis of personal uncontrolled observations of a drug's profile and the reported "mean-effect" in placebo-controlled studies.
