{"product_id":"on-learning-to-heal-ed-cohen-9781478016670","title":"On Learning to Heal: Or, What Medicine Doesn't Know","description":"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 \u003ci\u003eOn Learning to Heal\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478016671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478016670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024","brand":"Ed Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071492649215,"sku":"9781478016670","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0726dcae-d0a9-4ce0-b038-60464a37c532.jpg?v=1685436421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-learning-to-heal-ed-cohen-9781478016670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
