Neuro Linguistic Programming

According to Richard Bandler, one of it's founders, NLP is an attitude and a methodology which leaves behind a trail of techniques.

 

Maybe a more useful definition would be that NLP is a powerful set of tools that can be used to help people change themselves through its mental models, patterns of influence and techniques of change.

 

NLP is full of simple step-by-step techniques, which can be really useful when used in conjunction with hypnosis and within a larger framework of solution-focused therapy. Used on their own by practitioners who don't understand the bigger picture, they are of limited use.
