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.
