Kübler-Ross: The Patient as the Teacher

Discover what the dying taught Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and what they can teach you at every bedside.

 

  • How Elisabeth's 1965 seminar began, and what her patients taught her
  • Practical bedside skills: listening, symbolic language, silence, and presence
  • Her teachings on hope, unfinished business, the four quadrants, and the final hours
  • How to support families, help with legacy work, and keep vigil
  • How to recognize the symbolic verbal and nonverbal language of the dying
  • What Elisabeth actually drew: the ten responses behind the "five stages"
  • Why the patient can be the true expert on their own dying
