Biography of elisabeth kubler ross
•
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a Swiss-born American psychiatrist, pioneered the concept of providing psychological counseling to the dying. In her first book, On Death and Dying (published in 1969), she described five stages she believed were experienced by those nearing death—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. She also suggested that death be considered a normal stage of life, and offered strategies for treating patients and their families as they negotiate these stages. The topic of death had been avoided by many physicians and the book quickly became a standard text for professionals who work with terminally ill patients. Hospice care has subsequently been established as an alternative to hospital care for the terminally ill, and there has been more emphasis on counseling for families of dying patients.
Elisabeth Kübler was one of three triplet girls born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1926. Though she weighed only 2 pounds at birth, she credited her survival

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 – August 24, 2004), was a Swiss-born psychiatrist renowned for her pioneering work in Near-Death Studies. Her groundbreaking book On Death and Dying (1969) introduced the Kübler-Ross model, which outlines the Five Stages of Grief®: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This model has since influenced various fields, including corporate training on change management, as embodied in The Kübler-Ross Change Curve®.
In 1970, Dr. Kübler-Ross delivered the prestigious Ingersoll Lectures on Human Immortality at Harvard University, further exploring themes of death and dying. In the early 1970’s she was one of the founders of the International Work Group on Death, Dying, and Bereavement (IWG).
