This text suggests that the claims made for Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's work are inflated if not erroneous. It uncovers a history of deception associated with her research as well as with her clinical and educational initiatives. The work traces the history of Kubler-Ross's life work, particularly her history of thought, and challenges the death awareness movement to be more accountable in its care of the dying.
