Healing: A Life with Chronic Illness
"The most interesting aspects of the book are Bouvard's accounts of how her condition affects her day-to-day experiences and concerns and how this contrasts with the detached, often insensitive way in which she was treated by certain medical practitioners . . . the book is mostly engaging and interesting, and is eloquently written. It would be valuable reading for people who are themselves suffering from chronic illness, to show that it need not preclude them from finding fulfillment professionally and personally. And it would be valuable to the friends and relations of those suffering from chronic illness, to help them to understand what is important to their friend or relation and how they can best and most sympathetically engage with her." --Metapsychology Online Reviews
