(P/B) ON DEATH AND DYING

Παρουσίαση

One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kubler-Ross first explores the now-famous stages of death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
This book gives readers a profound understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family. Along with understanding, Dr. Kubler-Ross brings hope to all who are involved.
This new edition celebrates the life and work of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross a decade after her death and features a new foreword by Ira Byock, M.D., one of the leading scholars in palliative and hospice care. Byock reflects on the enduring legacy of On Death and Dying and the important role it has played in fostering a more open conversation about issues associated with the end of life in our culture.
On Death and Dying provides the essential framework we need to understand death and the comforting wisdom to help us heal. (From the publisher)
