The problem with this article is that it is just a long criticism. It cites studies based on self report, and self report is unreliable. I think this article should be shortened to simply describe the history of Kubler Ross's idea instead of trying to scientifically invalidate it when this is impossible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:100:6D70:F175:DC80:81CC:C0B3 (talk) 02:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

A specific and very important inconsistency in this article is that the introduction states that the stages are experienced in no particular order. Subsequent sections, however, refer to "the second stage", "the third stage", and so on. Also, under the heading "Anger", the text states "the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue", further implying a strict order of stages.
As far as I can recall the Kübler-Ross Model, this is not a correct interpretation. In fact, it was my belief that there is no requirement that all five stages are experienced. In my experience with grieving patients, both bargaining and denial seemed quite rare. I think the important thing to understand in the Kübler-Ross Model is that the grieving individual typically does experience different stages of grief and that each stage may be characterised as one of the five which Kübler-Ross described. Expecting each person who grieves to experience every stage and in the order prescribed here might be an overly-simplistic interpretation of this important concept.
I have refrained from making any changes to the article because I recognise that I might be wrong. I do think it is important, however, that someone with more knowledge on the subject than I addresses this inconsistency. 128.250.229.72 (talk) 02:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Oh god, why do people like to argue even before they've really figured things out? Head-ache-y.Thomas J. S. Greenfield (talk) 12:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
The order in the image is different from the order in the article (Depression after/before Bargaining) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.252.202.156 (talk) 01:00, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I came here to report the problem with the image as well. I don't know where it came from, but the sources I've found all show Bargaining before Depression. 24.91.251.19 (talk) 17:13, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
"When a patient and physician could discuss this courageously and candidly a good death would be possible.[dubious – discuss] "
It's only dubious if Kubler-Ross didn't say it. If it's a paraphrase of something she said in her work, then the content of the statement may be dubious but the fact that she wrote it isn't. I agree that it needs to be clarified who the speaker of the statement is. It might also help if some explanation of what Kubler-Ross meant by a "good death" was included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.182.17 (talk) 21:45, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Kübler-Ross model → Five stages of grief – Far, far more WP:RECOGNIZABLE, and the WP:COMMONNAME both in the popular press [1] [2] and in scientific papers [3][4][5]. Appears to rarely be actually referred to as the "Kübler-Ross model", if her name is mentioned it is as "the stages of grief as identified by Kübler-Ross" or "Kübler-Ross's 'five stages of grief' model". This move was suggested in 2012 but had little participation, with the opposes saying that the new title made it sound like these stages were clearly delineated or real, but I don't share that view at all. I think it's probable that every single reader of this article found it through Googling "(five) stages of grief" and not "Kübler-Ross". – Thjarkur (talk) 19:35, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Criticism section: other theoretically based, scientific perspectives that better represent the course of grief and bereavement such as .. [the] psychosocial transition model . . anyone know whether this model is the same thing as psychosocial rehabilitation?
If it is, do you fancy fixing the redlink?
