520    "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 was periods of remission. 
       Unfortunately, they 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, it 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
