I have no idea where you obtain your information on AA or indeed Elizabeth Kubler-Ross its certainly not from any indebth research .AAs twelve steps were formulated in the nineteen forties by Bill W the founder of AA ,Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and her marvelous and radical ideas on dying did not come to prominence until 1969

But why say 'hijack'? It's not like she owns the ideas and has the right to prevent people from using them in a different context.

Whatever works (as it has for many, though not for all).
