The statement that indicates to the psychiatrist that the client is in the Kübler-Ross stage of bargaining is c. "Just let me go on vacation with my wife; then I'll be satisfied." Bargaining is one of the stages of the Kübler-Ross model, commonly known as the five stages of grief. In the bargaining stage, individuals often try to negotiate a way to avoid the cause of their grief or pain. This is usually done in exchange for a reformed lifestyle or commitments to change behaviors, in a plea to extend life or have more time.
