Preferred term

Kübler-Ross model  

Definition

  • Elisabeth Kübler (1926–2004) described herself as stubborn, opinionated, independent, and unconventional. As a youth growing up in Switzerland, she was determined to become a doctor despite a childhood experience of hospitalization in which she was isolated and separated from her family by what she viewed as an impersonal and uncaring system.
