Clinical psychologist Allan Botkin worked for 20 years treating combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In 1995 he accidentally discovered that a variation of the therapy he was using (called EMDR)  reliably resulted in his patients’ experiencing an after death communication with the deceased person they were grieving. The healing associated with these experiences went well beyond what has even been considered possible in the fields of trauma and grief work. Since then, Dr. Botkin has further developed and refined his method. He calls this therapy Induced After Death Communication, or IADC. In 2003 Dr. Botkin founded the Center for Grief and Traumatic Loss, LLC, and shifted his focus to the treatment of civilian grief and trauma. He is the author of the book, "Induced After Death Communication: A Miraculous  for Healing Grief and Loss,” and has now trained many therapists all over the world in his procedure.
