📝 Description: Induced After-Death Communication: A Miraculous Therapy for Grief and Loss

"Dr. Botkin has hit upon a fascinating and powerful new tool that may not only help clients cope with their losses, but also breaks new ground in understanding life and death." --Bruce Greyson, MD, bestselling author of After "A must read for all serious students of death and dying."--Raymond Moody, MD, PhD Induced After Death Communication (IADC) is a therapy for grief and trauma that has helped thousands of people come to terms with their loss by allowing them the experience of private communication with their departed loved ones. This is the definitive book on the subject. Botkin, a clinical psychologist, created the therapy while counseling Vietnam veterans in his work at a Chicago area VA hospital. Botkin recounts his initial--accidental--discovery of IADC during therapy sessions with Sam, a Vietnam vet haunted by the memory of a Vietnamese girl he couldn't save. During the session, quite unexpectedly, Sam saw a vision of the girl's spirit, who told him everything was okay; she was at peace now. This single moment surpassed months--years--of therapy, and allowed Sam to reconnect with his family. Since that 1995 discovery, Botkin has used IADC to successfully treat countless patients--the book includes dozens of case examples--and has taught the procedure to therapists around the country. This is the inside story of a revolutionary therapy that will profoundly affect how grief and trauma are understood and treated.

Esoterica Books editorial team

Occult literature desk

Botkin presents a compelling case for Induced After-Death Communication as a therapeutic tool, yet this text demands a specific worldview to be effective. It is decidedly unsuitable for strict materialists or skeptics who require empirical, scientific validation for all psychological phenomena, as the core premise relies entirely on spiritual belief rather than measurable data. Furthermore, readers seeking immediate, clinical symptom relief without engaging in deep existential exploration may find the approach too abstract or metaphysical. While the narrative of healing is powerful, its utility is strictly bound to the reader’s willingness to accept post-mortem interaction as a valid and real therapeutic mechanism.

❓ Frequently asked questions

No, IADC is a clinical therapy where the individual directly experiences an internal communication or vision with their departed loved one, facilitated by the therapist. It's a personal, internal experience, not mediated by an external psychic.

Dr. Allan Botkin, a clinical psychologist, accidentally discovered IADC in 1995 while working with a Vietnam veteran at a VA hospital. A spontaneous, healing vision occurred during therapy, leading to its development.
