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.

Unfortunately the front cover has a prominent crease in it, which you don’t expect with a brand new book. Prompt delivery.

Brilliant support from someone who knew what they were talking about

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 January 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is superb. The updated version, written when the author herself was dying is an excellent help when facing the death of a friend. Understanding the stages of acceptance was important to all of us, and also to know that the emotions we were going through were normal - and that meant we could talk about them - not bad for a family where emotional communication is not our strong point.

I would strongly recommend this for anyone, but particularly for families where the children are dealing with the death of a parent. If they are old enough to get through the book (maybe 16+) then I hope it would be a help. It was for us.

We are all dying from the moment we are born.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 May 2020

This a a topic which seem to make people uncomfortable. However we are all dying as soon as we are born. Nobody is exempt from this process. We all expect to live forever however that is not true. An easy to read book which makes you reflect on the way you live your life.

I highly recommend reading it sooner in the life process

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 July 2017

Verified Purchase

this is a very helpful book, very well written. I have found it very helpful in dealing with the death of my mother. I highly recommend reading it sooner in the life process. I might have been able to help more and understand more had I read this in preparation for my mother's death (or indeed anyone else's death) had I read it sooner. Going forward in life, it's very helpful and everything in it is still valid and important all these years later since it was first written. I highly recommend this book.

Incredible insight

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 May 2013

Verified Purchase

This did all I wanted and more. I haven't read it through as a novel, but read chapters, or parts of chapters. It's very moving, and applying it to one's own situation makes one pause for thought. It reminds me that we should talk about death and dying, and ensure that we all make some sort of preparation and discuss options with our families and friends. She must have been a very empathic woman and I've been moved to tears a number of times. However, these can be helpful tears and encourage healing.

Really good examples and lots of therapist-client sessions dialogues

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 July 2016

Verified Purchase

Sad book to read, but it gives you a good idea how to handle these situations. Lots of example of therapist-client sessions. I bought it for my studies I will probably use it in the therapy room too.
