Synopsis

For the past five years, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross has been answering the questions of professional people and families who have been faced with the care of the dying. Doctors, nurses, clergymen, and social workers, as well as lay people, have gathered in workshops around the country to ask her questions arising out of their experiences with the terminally ill. Many had read "On Death and Dying" and were trying to put its precepts into practice. This sequel to "On Death and Dying" consists of the most frequently asked questions and Dr. Kuebler-Ross's answers.
