Briefly describe several criticisms of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's theory of death and dying

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Her concepts are limited to those people who know they are dying and are dying in a relatively leisurely fashion. Not every person passes through every step or stage on their way to death, some people move through the steps in a different sequence, and some go through certain stages multiple times. Critics report that perhaps Kübler-Ross may have too limited a set of factors in her theory, especially when it comes to the emotion of anxiety which many people experience. Finally, there are substantial differences in people's reactions to impending death.
