Negar la muerte como hecho individual o social (con mecanismos del tipo ya me preocuparé cuando sea necesario) tiene una importante consecuencia: la falta de preparación psicológica cuando se presenta el trance; especialmente en el paciente, pero también en los allegados o el equipo que lo atiende. Sobre la muerte y los moribundos cubre esta carencia. A través de la identificación y comprensión de los sentimientos -ira, negación, aceptación ... - de los moribundos, esta obra muestra cómo controlar dichas emociones y cómo transformar las actitudes para aliviar el sufrimiento psicológico. Por ello, este libro es no solo indispensable para profesionales de la sanidad y psicólogos, sino también para todas las personas que deseen abordar su futuro con responsabilidad.

Um dos mais importantes estudos psicológicos do século XX, 'Sobre a morte e o morrer' teve origem nos importantes seminários interdisciplinares da Dra. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross sobre vida, morte e transição. Nesta obra que se tornou um clássico, ela explora pela primeira vez os cinco estágios sobre a morte: negação e isolamento, raiva, barganha, depressão e aceitação. Através de trechos de entrevistas e conversas, a autora proporciona ao leitor um melhor entendimento de como a morte iminente afeta o paciente, o profissional envolvido e a família do paciente. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross descreve as experiências de pacientes terminais, suas agonias e frustrações, numa tentativa de encorajar as pessoas a não se afastar dos doentes condenados, mas, antes, aproximar-se deles e ajudá-los em seus últimos momentos. "Quando me perguntaram se gostaria de escrever um livro sobre a morte e o morrer, aceitei o desafio com entusiasmo. Entretanto, quando me sentei para iniciar a obra e comecei a me com penetrar da realidade, o horizonte mudou. Por onde começar? Que assunto abordar? O que posso transmitir aos desconhecidos que vão ler este livro? O que posso comunicar desta experiência com moribundos? Quantas coisas são ditas sem pronunciar palavras, mas são sentidas, vivenciadas, vistas e dificilmente traduzidas verbalmente? Durante os últimos dois anos e meio, trabalhei junto a pacientes moribundos. Este livro contará o começo desta experiência que se tornou significativa e instrutiva para quantos dela participaram. Não pretende ser um manual sobre como tratar pacientes moribundos, tampouco um estudo exaustivo da psicologia do moribundo. É apenas um relatório de uma oportunidade nova e desafiante de focalizar uma vez mais o paciente como ser humano, de fazer participar dos diálogos, de saber dele os méritos e as limitações de nossos hospitais no tratamento dos doentes." (Do "Prefácio")

Sobre a morte e o morrer

Über den Tod und das Leben danach

Ross Kubler

Psychiatre, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross a été une des premières à briser le mur du silence qui entourait les malades en phase terminale. En 1970, décidée à aller plus loin, elle crée les ateliers "La Vie, la Mort et le Passage", où tous ceux - malades, personnes en deuil, infirmières, médecins, prêtres - qui sont en contact direct avec la mort peuvent se confier et partager leurs expériences. Ce livre, qui réunit de nombreux témoignages vécus, propose des réponses à la fois concrètes et spirituelles à une situation trop souvent affrontée dans la solitude et le silence. Acte de foi en l'homme et en son fantastique pouvoir de rédemption, il est aussi - et d'abord - un hymne à l'amour et à la vie.

La mort, porte de la vie
