Elisabeth K?bler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926-August 24, 2004) was a Swiss-born psychiatrist, a pioneer in Near-death studies and the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed what is now known as the K?bler-Ross model.
She is a 2007 inductee into the National Women's Hall of Fame. 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. In 1970, she delivered the The Ingersoll Lectures on Human Immortality at Harvard University, on the theme, On Death and Dying.
Our concern must be to live while we're alive...to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
