It's tempting to approach this book ironically, enjoying it as a piece of psychotherapeutic folklore and nothing more. But Dr. Weiss's credentials command some respect. He's clearly a serious person who has devoted serious thought to the therapeutic value of reincarnation memories, and so his ideas deserve consideration, even if they're presented here in a lax and breezy manner.
This is not a book of evidence for reincarnation. There are very few points of evidence, and these are anecdotal. For example, one couple gives identical accounts of past lives together, presumably without consulting one another, although this qualification is not stated outright. Also, Dr. Weiss claims that his patients as a whole have independently provided accounts of "future history" that are, he estimates, 90% consistent with one another. (He doesn't mention how he arrives at this figure or exactly what it means.) If such results could be demonstrated under controlled conditions, it would corroborate Dr. Weiss's claims. As it stands, you either suppose it's true for the sake of argument, or you abandon the book.
The same suspension of disbelief is required if we're to consider Weiss's most important claim, which is that the reincarnation experiences obtained under hypnosis, whether true or invented, result in dramatic psychiatric improvement.
All these claims are scientifically testable, and I am disappointed that Dr. Weiss neglected to suggest such tests or to survey previous findings. What we have instead is Dr. Weiss telling his stories and rendering his subjective opinion, and while I respect his experience, I can't help noticing that this book could easily have made a more substantial contribution to the field.
