At thirteen, Ed Cohen was diagnosed with Crohn's disease-a chronic,
incurable condition that nearly killed him in his early twenties.
At his diagnosis, his doctors told him that the best he could hope
for would be periods of remission. Unfortunately, doctors never
mentioned healing as a possibility. In On Learning to Heal, Cohen
draws on fifty years of living with Crohn's to consider how Western
medicine's turn from an "art of healing" toward a "science of
medicine" deeply affects both medical practitioners and their
patients. He demonstrates that although medicine can now offer many
seemingly miraculous therapies, medicine is not and has never been
the only way to enhance healing. Exploring his own path to healing,
he argues that learning to heal requires us to desire and value
healing as a vital possibility. With this book, Cohen advocates
reviving healing's role for all those whose lives are touched by
illness.
