Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD, [1926-2004] was a Swiss-born psychiatrist, humanitarian, and co-founder of the hospice movement around the world. She was also the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, which first discussed The Five Stages of Grief. Elisabeth authored twenty-four books in thirty-six languages and brought comfort to millions of people coping with their own deaths or the death of a loved one. Her greatest professional legacy includes teaching the practice of humane care for the dying and the importance of sharing unconditional love. Her work continues by the efforts of hundreds of organizations around the world, including The Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation: EKRFoundation.org.

Kbler-Ross, the celebrated thanatologist, now joins the chorus of voices waging war with the AIDS epidemic. While her tone is shrill and full of indignation toward those who respond to AIDS with fear or prejudice, the book is nevertheless compelling. Drawing on her conversations with patients, families, and caregivers, the author covers the wide range of emotions triggered by the virus. Kubler-Ross, as in On Death and Dying and other previous works, makes a strong case for human compassion. She sees AIDS as an opportunity for us all to learn the ultimate lesson, the lesson of unconditional love. Recommended for general readers. Rev. David A. Buehler, Charlton Memorial Hospital, Fall River, Mass.
