Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) is a new therapy for grief and trauma that has helped thousands of people come to terms with their grief by allowing them the experience of their own communication with their departed loved ones while sitting in a psychotherapist's office.

The book is written by Allan Botkin, Psy.D., the psychotherapist who discovered the method, and his co-author, R. Craig Hogan, Ph.D., a researcher, writer. and speaker about after-death communication and the afterlife. It contains accounts of people's after-death communications, cases that show the communications are with the person's deceased loved lines, and a description of the method.

Dr. Botkin, a clinical psychologist, discovered the therapy method while counseling Vietnam veterans in his work at a Chicago area VA hospital. He recounts his initial?accidental?discovery of IADC during a 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, over 40 psychotherapists have been taught the therapy method and thousands of people have had after-death communications during sessions with the psychotherapists.
