Elizabeht Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was a Swiss-American psychiatrist known for her groundbreaking work on grief and the process of dying. In her 1969 book "On Death and Dying," she introduced the Kübler-Ross model, which outlines five stages people often go through when facing death or significant loss: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Her work helped to bring openness to discussions about death and dying, emphasizing the emotional experiences of patients and their families. Kübler-Ross's contributions have influenced both medical practice and the way society understands grief.
