Allan L. Botkin with R. Craig Hogan. Induced After Death Communication: A new therapy for healing grief and trauma, Charlottesville, VA: Hampton Roads 2005. 202 pp $15.95
Allan Botkin is a psychologist who worked for many years in a Veterans Administration Hospital in Chicago. He had been using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for several years to help veterans of various wars process post traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs), with excellent results from this treatment.
|
He was surprised when some of the people he treated reported spontaneous communications with the spirits of people who were involved in the traumas that caused their PTSDs. Veterans who had been releasing their long-buried fears and hurts from major wartime traumas were transformed by the messages they received from the spirits and by being able to converse with them. This was all the more impressive because many of the Vets had had no prior belief in or experiences with spirit communications. Botkin himself had not had any such beliefs or communications, having trained in hard-core behavioral psychology.
Botkin found that he could regularly induce these experiences through specific ways of using EMDR. He came to call this Induced After Death Communication (IADC).
