Abstract
This article examines the epistemological and institutional conditions which facilitate this practice of ''placebo therapy'', for which data had been collected during 14 months of fieldwork at narcological clinics in St. Petersburg. Wide usage of therapeutic methods, based on suggestion and use of disulfiram - an alcohol antagonist, was formed by a clinical style of reasoning specific to a Soviet and post-Soviet psychiatry.
