Known for her work with those suffering from chronic illness, Cohen focused on the synchronization of mind and body through attention to the minutiae of everyday life as a means for healing. She also wrote four books, “Arthritis: Stop Suffering, Start Moving” (1995), “Finding a Joyful Life in the Heart of Pain” (2000), “Turning Suffering Inside Out” (2002), and “The One Who Is Not Busy: Connecting with Work in a Deeply Satisfying Way” (2004).
