"Love As Healing is a story of triumph over a terrifying and poorly understood disease through courage and devotion. It has its hero and heroine faced suddenly with a sickness which sets out to paralyse the body. It records their lengthy search for treatments not ""the talking cure"", but a long slow cure through love. Inspiring, humbling, and as intensely Korean as it is resonantly universal in its message. -John Dunn, Professor Emeritus of Cambridge University, UK Functional movement disorders have been known since the dawn of medicine, but physicians were not educated about them. This sad situation is now being changed. This interesting book details the course of the disorder. The detail of the story is unmatched in the literature and shows the difficulties of patients and the improvements correlated with psychological and social factors. What can be better than love? -Mark Hallett, MD, NINDS Scientist Emeritus, National Institutes of Health, USA Love As Healing is a moving account of how a woman accustomed to flying high from one academic venue to another is brought low by a mysterious attack on her body. Love As Healing is a book of lessons-not just for the ill seeking recovery-but for all who are torn by wars or civil strife. -Charles Lemert, Professor Emeritus of Wesleyan University, USA"
