Synopsis
In the later years of her medical career, Dr Louise Ireland-Frey, a hypnotherapist, became involved with a phenomenon known since the earliest recorded history: spirit possession. Already interested in metaphysics and psychic manifestations, she developed successful techniques known as Spirit Releasement Therapy. In this text, Dr Ireland-Frey shares many cases of spirit attachment and releasement, discusses types of "invisibles", and how they can be responsible for any number of physical, mental, and emotional disorder.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The reader who was disappointed and gave this book "1 star" must have missed the point and the purpose of this book. The books is about Spirit Releasement and it contains an abundance of real-life stories, which make it for an enjoyable and easy reading.
The author doesn't state that all problems in anyone's life are related to spirit releasement, however she does tactfully and routinelly check for the possibility of any mental and energetic influences from external sources. It simply makes it easier when assisting the client to deal with issue that actually relate to the client.
It is not the purpose of spirit releasement techniques to place all the blame and responsibility on outer sources. After all, it is the individual's own thoughts and emotions that open the person to any external influences. And even when spirit releasement does indeed provide speedy relief from some perplexing problems, unless the individual invests some conscious effort in maintaining healthy state of mind, emotions and body, he may very well open himself to more unhealthy influences.
The thing that I particularly like about spirit releasement books as opposite to exorcism books is that the therapist doesn't just remove the unhealthy influence, but makes sure to help it to understand and exprience that there is a better way to live and that it is in its best interests.
I like Irene Hickman's metaphor (from her book "Remote Depossession") that compares the exorcism method to taking nails out of one's tire and then tossing them out on the road, so they can pierce someone else's tires, or even one's own should the individual drive along the same road at a later time; whereas she compares spirit releasement method to actually disposing of the nails so that they don't cause damage to anyone later on.
I have particularly appreciated the compassionate approach in this book of providing a brief therapy even to disembodied spirits before directing them into the light.
The book lists and provides examples of extremely wide range of external influences - the greatest number of external influences being by lost and confused human beings who have not successfully made a transition to the spirit world.
The influences are not always by those we'd consider "dead", but also by mental influences from other living human beings. Again, I find it important to add that nothing and noone can influence the person, unless the person has first created some kind of an opening to be influenced. Most of us take daily care that our bodies and clothes are clean - not many take care that their thoughts and emotions are clean, too.

I read this book right after the spirit releasement book by Hazel Denning. 'Freeing Captives' has very interesting case studies and makes for easy reading. For those interested in spirit releasement technique and therapy, this is a good book to read.

I found the book unconvincing. The "case studies" - if that is what they were - were mushy and read like an ego trip for the author. She seemed really please at how "advanced" the communicators thought she was and the hierarchies of entities - low entities and higher entities etc sound like the usual New Age tripe that fills similar books across the internet. For anyone worried that they may be overshadowed by a spirit, or worse, this book is less then useless in my opinion. I regret buying it. If you are simply interested in this field - find a copy of Carl Wicklands "30 Years Among the Dead" - it's a lot more convincing. If you think you need treatment for obssession I'd steer away from this book and consult a psychiatrist or a reputable medium (if you can find one).
