A fine book for professional and lay-person alike in the areas of grief, trauma, sadness, and healing August 21, 2008

As a health care practitioner and trained IADC therapist, I highly recommend Dr. Botkin's book. It is a sensitive, honest, thorough, and well-researched account of his work with induced after death communications with his clients.I have great respect for his work as I have had the ongoing privilege of experiencing its truth and beauty. I use this book as a resource and I offer it to clients to give them hope and understanding as they move through their deep grief, sadness, and healing. I found it to be one of those few books that is written by a mental health professional who writes, respectfully, with the lay-person in mind and heart.

Talk to the Dead? Maybe We Can After All....... August 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I learned of this book from some colleagues and my own curiosity led me to purchase and read it. Dr. Botkin weaves his personal story of discovering the Induced After Death Communication together with his clinical and theoretical understanding of these experiences. He shares fascinating case histories as he describes in detail these phenomena that are apparently far more common than one would think.

As a psychotherapist for nearly thirty years, Induced After-Death Communication was riveting to me. I have had many clients who sought relief from grief, anger, or guilt towards a deceased friend or family member who tried to get through these overarching emotions with cognitive tools alone. The work was slow and they could get tired of plowing the same ground over and over, and often give up in the name of "acceptance". "Empty-chair" work, where they would talk to and for the deceased worked better, but they tended to snap back to old feelings after remembering, "It was just my imagination." Several times, my clients had spontaneous realizations that they must have had an ADC while doing these sessions, and these were very healing. But getting them to these moments was not something you could count on. Something more was needed.br /br /After reading Botkin/Hogan's book, I determined to get this training, and did. In the years since then I have found IADC to be not only effective and reliable, but it does its work in a short period of time. As a therapist, what more could you ask for?br /br /I think that reading this book can give anyone who faces grief (and that's all of us) not only a new means of getting through grief (which is the healing process), but also a new motive to do so. When you understand that processing the sadness first is a means of "going-on", not "getting-over", it changes the whole set up for paying attention to grief at all. That's really good news for everyone.

Couldn't put it down! August 10, 2008

As a licensed professional counselor who practices EMDR (Eye Movement Desesitization and Reprocessing) which is the core technique used to induce after death communication, I was anxious to read Dr. Botkin's book. The stories that Dr. Botkin tells are truly amazing and riveting. I liked that the book focused on the evidence and research done in this area. While the clinical evidence is fascinating and makes for great reading, at no point does Dr. Botkin lapse into sensationalism, nor does he draw erroneous conclusions that this is "proof" of an afterlife. However, he makes a good case that these techniques are genuinely beneficial and healing and does so in a linear, analytical and even-handed manner. A great book for counselors, those who have lost family or friends and those interested in apparent glimpses into the afterlife. I liked that the book was written without the "psychobabble" or "new age speak" often found in this subject matter, making it an exciting, moving touching and accesible read to the general pulic.

A stunning and remarkable look at after death communication August 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm a pastor, chaplain and an EMDR trained trauma therapist. Over the years I have heard a few people talk about experiences similar to those cases in Dr. Alan Botkin's book, Induced After Death Communication. I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first picked up the book. But after reading it, I was inspired to take Dr. Botkin's training on IADC. As part of the training, I had such a profound experience in my dad communicating with me that in my heart, I knew the communication was real. To be honest, I was blown away.br /br /Since then, I have used IADC with many clients, some with multiple experiences. It has been my privilege to witness contact with deceased loved ones and the grief process accessed.br /br /The cases in this remarkable book are right on target in terms of both the variety and how real these communications are to those who experience them. While they cannot be proven, they don't need to be for those who receive heartfelt relief from the images, words, sounds and yes, even smells that come from what I believe to be, the spiritual world. br /br /I highly recommend Induced After Death Communication. Thanks to Dr. Botkin for having the courage to write this groundbreaking work. For those who are skeptical, including members of the clergy and mental health professionals, I hope you read the book with an open mind. It might just change your life and those around you. It did for me.br /br /br /br /br /
