Abstract
The equivalence between General Relativity and scalar-tensor theories is discussed. Vacuum solutions of the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity ar e shown to behave ambiguously whenever attempts are made to interpret them as Einstein's solutions generated by an 'effective' energy-moment um tensor.
