Someone mentioned on this thread recently that Kubler-Ross' motivation for the Stages of Grief (specifically that acceptance was valued as the last stage) was the comfort of the institutions and nurses and doctors who would just prefer not to have to deal with the anger and other strong, aversive behaviors of dying people. After reading an interview with her, I doubt that was the point. I think the actual foundation of her ideas is clear from the following excerpt
Sounds pretty mystical! -- The best argument against Intelligent Design is that fact that people believe in it.
