Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 - August 24, 2004) was a psychiatrist and the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, where she first discussed what is now known as the Kübler-Ross model.

As she began her practice, she was appalled by the hospital treatment of patients who were dying. She beg ...

Palliative care most often occurs in the dying person's home. It is also provided in free-standing inpatient (hospice) units and within regular hospital units. In most countries, hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team consisting of physicians, registered nurses, chaplains, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, complimentary therapists, volunteers and, most importantly, the family. The focus of the team is to optimize the patient's comfort. Additional members of the team are likely to include home he ...

The modern hospice is a relatively recent concept that originated and gained momentum in the United Kingdom after the founding of St. Christopher's Hospice in 1967. Dr. Cicely Saunders is regarded as the founder of the hospice movement. Since its begi ...

More than a place, hospice care is a philosophy that is now called "palliative care." Dictionary.com defines a hospice as "A program that provides palliative care and attends to the emotional and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients at an inpatient facility or at the patient's home," and the Cancer Web Internet site defines a hospice as "An institution that provides a centralised program of palliative and supportive services to dying persons and their families, in the form of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual care; such se ...

Denial is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person faced with a fact that is uncomfortable or painful to accept rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. The subject may deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether (simple denial), admit the fact but deny its seriousness (minimisation) or admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility (transference). The concept of denial is part ...

The key to effective palliative care is to provide a safe place for the individual to express their distress. This involves treating physical symptoms such as pain, nausea and breathlessness so that the patient is able to express any psychological and spiritual distress. These are then addressed in turn, all the while supporting the partner and family. Palliative care teams have become very skillful in prescribing drugs for physical symptoms, and have been instrumental in showing how drugs such as morphine can be used safely while maintainin ...

Kübler-Ross originally applied these stages to any form of catastrophic personal loss, such as the death of a loved-one, or even divorce. She also claimed these steps do not necessarily come in order, nor are they all experienced by all patients, though she stated a person will always experience at least two. Others have noticed that any significant personal change can follow these stages. For example, experienced criminal defense attorneys are aware that defendants who are facing stiff sentences, yet have no defenses or mitigating f ...

November was included in the Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, and received its first public screening there on January 18, 2004. For her work on the film, the festival's Excellence in Cinematography Award went to Nancy Schreiber, who admitted it was "quite a shock, since it was on mini-dv and we were up against films shot on film". Reviews were generally positive; Guylaine Cadorette said the film was "sure to garner buzz" outside of the fest,^{See also:}

Harrison, Brand and Renfrew had intended the film to be set and shot in San Francisco, but problems soon arose with their proposal. Cox had commitments to Friends, which was in production in Los Angeles, and production costs did not allow the entire production team to relocate to northern California for the duration for the shoot. The film-makers were forced to shoot in Los Angeles, but Renfrew later expressed no regret in their decision: "We wanted the story to take place in an anonymous urban area. An ...

The original script for the film was written by Benjamin Brand, who had written and sold several screenplays to studios, but not one of them had been produced. Brand had served as an assistant to producer Danielle Renfrew on the film Groove (2000), which Greg Harrison had directed. Brand, Renfrew and Harrison were all friends, and were living in their hometown of San Francisco developing separate projects at "mini-major" studios which, according to Renfrew, were "wallowing in development hell". Brand then read a newspaper story about ...
