Abstract

In this theoretical overview will be reconsidered basic mechanisms of placebo effect with a purpose to examine a hypothesis that the generally accepted psycho-physiological mechanisms of the placebo effect that explain many clinical and experimental data are related to search activity. Search related activity in general is a behavioral attitude that is capable to restore mental and physical health in different conditions that may explain basic mechanisms of placebo effect.
