I discovered this little gem of an article on Big Think. http://bigthink.com/neurobonkers/placebo-effects-psychologys-fundamental-flaw-why-active-controls-are-not-enough
The title grabbed my mind and shook it hard. One of the most basic of ideas I have always been taught and had reinforced was being challenged. I know that is the point of science--take accepted ideas and challenge them. This one caught me off guard.
This article essentially questions the validity of experimental psych research. Take a look, it's well worth your time.
