On Death and Dying

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

ISBN:9780684839387

One of the most famous psychological studies of the late twentieth century, “On Death and Dying” grew out of an interdisciplinary seminar on death, originated and conducted by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. In “On Death and Dying,” Dr. Kubler-Ross first introduced and explored the now-famous idea of the five stages of dealing with death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

With simple interviews and conversations, she gives the reader a better understanding of how iminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve the patient, and the patient’s family, bringing hope, solace, and peace of mind to all involved.
