Amazon.comPsychiatry and metaphysics blend together in this fascinating bookbased on a true case history. Dr. Weiss, who was once firmlyentrenched in a clinical approach to psychiatry, finds himselfreluctantly drawn into past-life therapy when a hypnotized clientsuddenly reveals details of her previous lives. During one hypnosissession his client introduces the spirit guides who have been hersoul therapists in between lives. This is when the story reallytakes off for Weiss, who discovers that these guides have specificmessages about his dead son as well as Weiss's mission in life. No,we cannot verify the truth of this story using the limitedscientific tools we have available. However, it is hard to disputethat this well-respected graduate of Columbia University and YaleMedical School has discovered a personal truth that has led him tobe an enormously popular speaker, author, and leader in the fieldof past-life therapy. --Gail HudsonFrom Publishers WeeklyIn 1980, Weiss, head of the psychiatry department at Mount SinaiMedical Center in Miami Beach, began treating Catherine, a27-year-old woman plagued by anxiety, depression and phobias. WhenWeiss turned to hypnosis to help Catherine remember repressedchildhood traumas, what emerged were the patient's descriptions ofa dozen or so of her hitherto unknown 86 past lives, as well asphilosophical messages channeled from "Master Spirits." Catherine'sanxieties and phobias soon disappeared, says Weiss, and she wasable to end therapy. The previously nonspiritual, scientific Weiss,awed by Catherine's and the masters' revelations, has written thisbook to share his new-found knowledge about "immortality and thetrue meaning of life." Whether or not one believes in reincarnationand channeling, Weiss's book will disappoint. Catherine'sdescriptions of her past lives are not particularly compelling orinsightful. Moreover, the teachings of the Master Spirits ("We arenot to kill. . . . Only God can punish," "Charity, hope, faith,love . . . we must all know these things," and "Our body is just avehicle for us while we're here. It is our soul and our spirit thatlast forever"), while admirable and comforting, are little morethan restatements of traditional religious values.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.ReviewEdith Fiore, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of You HaveBeen Here BeforeThis thought-provoking, beautifully written book breaks through thebarriers of conventional psychotherapy and presents an innovativeand highly effective treatment.
