Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy: An Effective and Quick Intervention to Cope with Grief by Fabio D’Antoni, Irene Pulvirenti, Antonella D’Orlando, Vilma Claudio, Claudio Lalla

“…Developed from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), IADC therapy aims to change the meanings with which loss is read and to transform acute grief into integrated grief. While spontaneous after-death communications (ADCs) have been widely reported across different cultures, IADC therapy provides a structured procedure for inducing a state of mind in which such experiences can spontaneously arise and develop. …”
