One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death & Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life & transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kubler-Ross first explores the now-famous stages of death: denial & isolation, anger, bargaining, depression & acceptance. Through sample interviews & conversations, she gives the reader a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, & the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved. This new edition will include an introduction by Dr. Ira Byock, a prominent palliative care physican & the author of Dying Well.
