Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient
(Norman Cousins)
The classic account
of the late Norman Cousins and his successful fight against a crippling disease.
It is the story of an unusual partnership between a physician and a patient and
how together they were able to beat back the odds. The doctor’s genius lay
in helping the patient use his own powers: laughter, courage, tenacity. The
patient’s talent was in mobilizing his body’ own natural healing resources, proving
what an effective weapon the mind can be in the war against disease. Norman
Cousins’ remarkable story has since been told in leading medical and lay journals
around the world. It provides a striking example of how one man responded
to a major health challenge – and won.
