Fifty years after its original publication, a commemorative edition with a new introduction and updated resources section of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s beloved, groundbreaking classic on the five stages of grief.

One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Kübler-Ross’s famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kübler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives readers a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved.

This edition includes an elegant, enlightening introduction by Dr. Ira Byock, a prominent palliative care physician and the author of Dying Well, as well as Congressional testimony given by Dr. Kübler-Ross on death with dignity.[/quote]

Yes her work was ground breaking.

I would note though that the 5 stages of grief are not seen as being in any particular order any more. People can jump between stages for different lengths of time and then back again. Hospice volunteers are now taught that the stages are more like a spinning wheel than hierarchy of emotional stages towards resolution.

Agree with their emphasis on helping the dying to pass with dignity and as comfortably as possible .[/quote]
