Briefly describe criticisms of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's theory of death and dying
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Kübler-Ross's concepts are limited to people who know they are dying and who die relatively slowly. Not every person passes through every step or stage on their way to death; some move through the steps in a different sequence, and some go through certain stages multiple times. Many people follow their own unique trajectory of grief. Finally, there are substantial differences in people's reactions to impending death.
