Roger Woolger is intelligent, insightful, cogent and experienced. He is also a fearless exporer. These are the qualities that come across in this book, which should be on the curriculum of every college.
He outlines his own development from Oxford University through conventional Jungian Therapeutic approaches such as dream work, to his discovery of emotional-based visualisations of what can only be described as 'past life' images. He found that working with these achieved outstanding therapeutic effects in comparison with his previous approaches and continued to develop this approach comprehensively.
Having tried the ideas out practically, I can vouch for them, and can only describe the effects as life-changing. Woolger does not state categorically that these 'past life' images are necessarily the product of reincarnation, and has found that belief or lack of it about their origin does not affect the effectiveness of the results.
Yet curiously (or perhaps not so curiously) he details how he found himself ostracised by the conventional Jungian community - much indeed as Jung himself was by conventional medicine in his own time. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
If you have any inclination to get to the root of problems in the psyche (and we all have them) rather than blotting them out, then this book is invaluable.
It is a perfect complement to 'Reincarnation Therapy' by Ingrid Vallieres.

28 July 2000
Format:Paperback
Ever since I had a Near-Death Experience, 25 years ago, I strongly believe that we are here on Earth on a regular basis, i.e., that we reincarnate. I have gone thru past-lives therapy and found its deep usefulness. All this led me to collect and study most books on reincarnation I could read. When I found Other Lives, Other Selves, I suddenly felt that I had spent too much money on too many books! This is the only book I'd buy if I had had a chance to browse thru all my 100-plus library on reincarnation. The fact that he is a Jungian psychotherapist does not hurt, because he adds to Jung's positions the rich and vast body of knowledge provided by PLT. Look no further: this IS the only book on reincarnation and past-lives therapy you'll ever need.

The REAL thing!!
22 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
After reading what is poular today as well as past writers (not naming names) I find that Dr Woolgers work is the most comprehensive approach to Past Life Therapy available. While many using hypnosis place an emphasis on recovering the memory, Dr Woolger's expereince is that the memory is the least difficult part of regression process, guiding the traumatic expereince and wound to the soul to resolution and healing is the cornerstone of his work. This is the piece, personally that I see lacking in other approaches. His work is founded in sound psychological AND spiritual principles and the ability to synthesize this and make it practical and accessable is clear in this book. After reading this book I had the ability to do some training with him personally and would recommend any serious student of this kind of work to try to do the same. At the very least, refer to this book as both pioneering and a classic in the field.

Best Yet On the Subject
7 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
I am a hypnotherapist and have read many books on the subject of past life therapy and I think this is the best yet. Woolger presents a more realistic account of past life therapy than some of the other quick fix books that are out there. Unlike others I've read, he doesn't claim that simply recalling a past life cures you of your ills. Instead, he conveys his experience as a therapist, that regression therapy is often a long and challenging process, though one with rich rewards. One thing I especially like about his techniques is his emphasis on incorperating the body into the regression, as that is where much of the trauma is held. While some therapists recommend taking an "observer" position while reliving a trauma, he encourages his clients to reexperience it as much as possible and considers emotional and physical catharsis as keys to healing. It is an enlightening and inspiring book.
