BBC World Service - Witness History, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and the Five Stages of Grief

The remarkable Swiss psychiatrist who changed the way we think about dying.

Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. When Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross published her bestselling book On Death and Dying in 1969, she described a series of emotional stages that she had seen terminally ill patients experience – later known as the Five Stages of Grief. But there was much more to her work in end of life care. Her son Ken speaks to Lucy Burns.
