On Death and Dying is a commemorative edition of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's groundbreaking classic, originally published fifty years ago. This new release features a thoughtful introduction and an updated resources section, making it a vital addition to any library focused on psychology, grief, and the human experience.
Dr. Kübler-Ross's work is one of the most significant psychological studies of the late twentieth century, stemming from her renowned interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition.
