Kübler-Ross model. The model was first introduced by Swiss-American Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying, and was inspired by her work with terminally ill patients.[1] Motivated by the lack of curriculum in medical schools on the subject of death and dying, Kübler-Ross began a project which examined death and those faced with it while working as an instructor at the University of Chicago's medical school.
Kübler-Ross' project evolved into a series of seminars which, along with patient interviews and previous research became the foundation for her book, and revolutionized how the U.S. medical field takes care of the terminally ill. In the decades since the publication of "On Death and Dying", the Kübler-Ross concept has become largely accepted by the general public; however, its validity has yet to be consistently supported by the majority of research studies that have examined it[citation needed]. Stages[edit] The stages, popularly known by the acronym DABDA, include:[2] Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 – August 24, 2004) was a Swiss American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies and the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed her theory of the five stages of grief.[1] She is a 2007 inductee into the American National Women's Hall of Fame.[2] She was the recipient of twenty honorary degrees and by July 1982 had taught, in her estimation, 125,000 students in death and dying courses in colleges, seminaries, medical schools, hospitals, and social-work institutions.[3] In 1970, she delivered the The Ingersoll Lectures on Human Immortality at Harvard University, on the theme, On Death and Dying.
Birth and education[edit] Elisabeth Kübler was born on July 8, 1926 in Zürich, Switzerland, one of triplets. Elisabeth was born fifteen minutes before her identical sister, Erika. Minutes later came her sister, Eva.[4] Her family were Protestant Christians. Personal life[edit] Academic career[edit] VF - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

Raymond Moody. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Pour les articles homonymes, voir Moody. Raymond Moody (né le 30 juin 1944) est un docteur en philosophie et médecin américain surtout connu pour ses travaux sur les expériences de mort imminente (EMI, en anglais : Near Death Experience, terme repris de Victor Egger, philosophe français) et de mort partagée. Il a recueilli pendant plus de vingt ans les témoignages de personnes disant témoigner d'une expérience de mort imminente.
Il a publié trois ouvrages populaires sur le sujet : La Vie après la vie (Life After Life, 1975), Lumières nouvelles sur la vie après la vie (Reflections on Life After life, 1977) et La Lumière de l'au-delà (The Light Beyond, 1988). Comme l’indique les titres, Moody a donné assez rapidement une interprétation spiritualiste des EMI. Interprétation qu'il réfutera en 1999 en publiant The Last Laugh.

The stages have evolved since their introduction and they have been very misunderstood over the past three decades. They were never meant to help tuck messy emotions into neat packages. They are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss as there is no typical loss. Our grief is as individual as our lives. The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. DENIALThis first stage of grieving helps us to survive the loss. ANGERAnger is a necessary stage of the healing process.
BARGAININGBefore a loss, it seems like you will do anything if only your loved one would be spared. DEPRESSIONAfter bargaining, our attention moves squarely into the present. ACCEPTANCEAcceptance is often confused with the notion of being “all right” or “OK” with what has happened.
