Brian Weiss, MD, a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School, and founding chairman and chairman emeritus of the Department of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, is also America's leading authority in past-life regression therapy.

Brian Weiss's background and extensive experience in traditional psychotherapy was set on a new course more than a decade ago when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. Astonished and initially skeptical, Brian Weiss's skepticism eroded when his patient began to channel messages from "the space between lives," that contained remarkable revelations about Weiss's family and his dead son. Realizing that past-life regression presented potential as a powerful new therapy method, Brian Weiss went on to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

Brian Weiss has authored several best-selling books based on his experience as a psychiatrist and healer. In his first book, Many Lives, Many Masters, he vividly describes the insights of a young patient named Catherine, who came to important realizations about the circumstances of her life today and the intricate thread of previous beings within her experience. In Through Time into Healing, he presents case studies that illustrate the healing potential of past-life regression therapy and several techniques for eliciting past life recall.

Only Love Is Real describes soulmates reunited, and Messages from the Masters explains how we can harness the awesome power of the ultimate force in the universe—love.

Brian Weiss's work has been featured in numerous magazines, newspapers, and television shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, 20/20, 48 Hours, and on the Discover Channel and CNN. Brian Weiss maintains a private practice in Miami.
