William
and Judith Baldwin's Answers to Frequently
Asked Questions explains what attachment removal
and past life regression is. Here is an
interview of him.
"James Hyslop (1854-1920) was
professor of logic and ethics at Columbia University, New
York, from 1889 to 1902. He authored a book on psychology
in 1895, and taught the subject at Smith College when the
science was in its infancy. Dr. Hyslop was an
experimentalist and empiricist. After he admitted the
credibility of the existence of spirits, it required ten
years of investigation to convince himself of the
possibility of obsession by discarnate beings as a cause
of mental illness. In the years that followed, he
accumulated the facts that make it scientifically
probable. He is the true pioneer in the systematic
investigation of spirit obsession and the possession as a
cause of mental disorder.
Dr. Carl Wickland was an avowed
spiritualist. He was also an exorcist. Wickland graduated
from Durham Medical College in 1900 and nine years later
became chief psychiatrist at the National Psychopathic
Institute in Chicago. In 1918 he moved to Los Angeles and
established the National Psychological Institute where he
continued the work of healing spirit obsession. His
seminal work in the treatment of spirit obsession and
possession is chronicled in his two books,
Thirty Years Among The
Dead
(1924) and Gateway to Understanding (1934).
Dr.
Wickland first became interested in spirit possession
after observing the frequency with which people suffered
character changes after engaging in such practices as
using the ouija board and automatic writing. Many such
people required hospitalization for apparent mental
illness. Wickland consulted discarnate intelligences
through his wife, Anna, who was an excellent and gifte
medium. He was told that possession of the living by the
"earthbound" spirits of deceased humans was the
cause, and that he could alleviate the symptoms of the
victims if he followed their instructions. The work was
conducted with the help of a "concentration
circle," a small group of people assembled to
support this Rescue Work." -- pp. 13,14
