Editorial Review:
One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth 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 the reader 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.

Rating:  - An extremely valuable resource
Kubler-Ross does an outstanding job of synthesizing her years of observation and experience into a succinct, readable volume. She tackles the difficult issues of death and loss with candor and sensitivity. This book provides brilliant insights into the nature and purpose of mourning, how to face one's mortality, how to let the certainty of death enhance one's life, how to deal with the death of a loved one and minister to people in grief. Her "five stages" are quintessential and have helped countless ... Read More
Rating:  - The Queen of Death
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is undoubtedly the world's foremost expert on the subject of death and dying. I learned about her stages of grief as an undergraduate majoring in psychology some 20 years ago, and later was re-acquainted with her ideas when I did a ten-year stint working in nursing. Now I am a teacher of psychology and history, and I finally came around to reading her most important book, and perhaps the most important and revolutionary book ever written on the subject of death.

Rating: - I was Wrong!
We studied Ms. Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief in medical school, but somehow I never got around to reading her orignal work. I presumed that it would be the same dry material that required the learned professors of academia to digest and regurgitate for the masses of medical students crying out for knowledge.
I was wrong.
The work is intimately accessible by everyone as a powerful reflection on death and dying that encourages each of us to address our own mortality and encourages ... Read More
Rating:  - Not for the sick!!!
2 Chapters in and don't think I will continue. This book may be a very good book for the living and healthy, but not the sick. This book should have a disclaimer, "Do not give this book to someone who is sick and fighting to live." I don't feel that you can give this book to someone and then say "I hope you get well soon" or "we're all pulling for you".
It's not ok to tell someone it's ok to give up if they're trying to live.
Take it from someone who has a terminal illness but still is ... Read More
Rating: - This book really helped me a lot
There was a recent death of someone real close to me. This book helped me through a lot of it. It is very well written and did a lot to help me accept how the recent events have unfolded. Thank you.
