"Excellent resource book"

Review by Gaye & Curly on 18th December, 2010

Purchased on Mighty Ape

I am a Celebrant and I am most impressed with the book. I think Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has brought the subject of death out into the open. Death is a natural process in life and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's writings on the end-of-life care is inspiring. It is the ideal book for all those with an interest in bereavement or the stages of grief. This book will change peoples attitudes on death and dying. It is a must on the bookself for those working with people with terminal illnesses.

Description

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The five stages of grief, first formulated in this hugely influential work forty years ago, are now part of our common understanding of bereavement. The five stages were first identified by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her work with dying patients at the University of Chicago and were considered phases that all or most people went through, when faced with the prospect of their own death. They are now often accepted as a response to any major life change. However, in spite of these terms being in general use, the subject of death is still surrounded by conventional attitudes and reticence that offer only fragile comfort because they evade the real issues.This groundbreaking book is still relevant - giving a voice to dying people and exploring what impending death means to them, often in their own words. People speak about their experience of dying, their relief in expressing their fear and anger and being able to move forward to a state of acceptance and peace. Ideal for all those with an interest in bereavement or the five stages of grief, this book contains a new extended introduction from Professor Allan Kellehear. This additional chapter re-examines "On Death and Dying" looking at how it has influenced contemporary thought and practice.

Author Biography:

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was a psychiatrist with a particular interest in end of life care. Especially interested in the care of dying patients, she researched their attitudes to death. Her groundbreaking work, On Death and Dying, identified the ‘five stages’ that dying people go through as they approach death and this model has been enormously influential over the past forty years.
