The Universitat Jaume I has hosted for two days the 8th Hypnosis Conference: Advances in Research and Clinical Applications organised by the Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, the Association for the Advancement of Experimental and Applied Hypnosis (AAHEA) and the Professiona Association of Psychology of the Valencian Community.

Irving Kirsch, associate director of the Placebo Studies Program at Harvard Medical School, professor emeritus of psychology at the Universities of Connecticut (USA), Plymouth and Hull (UK), honorary doctor from the University of Basel and honorary member of AAHEA, has been commissioned to inaugurate these days with the conference "The new drugs of the emperor: antidepressants and placebo effect".

In his speech, Kirsch, who is a worldwide reference on the study of the placebo effect, has explained in detail how he began with the line of research that calls into question the efficacy of antidepressants and has revolutionized the interpretation of the results of the scientific literature on depression and has made an exhaustive analysis of the different studies carried out in the last 20 years comparing the effects of antidepressants and placebos in patients with depression.
