NLP) - the study of the structure of subjective experience. NLP is a process of modeling and increasingly the term is used to encompass the techniques and skills uncovered as a result of this process. The technique and the name was developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in 1975.
This set of techniques works on almost a hypnotic level to change unconscious patterns of thought, behavior and language. NLP practitioners look for clues in a person’s set speech and behavior patterns and then provide the mental tools that clients can use to alter that behavior.
(NLP, neurolinguistics): Quasi-spiritual behavior-modification (or "performance psychology") technique whose crux is "modelling," or "NLP modelling": imitating the behavior of high achievers. Richard Bandler and John Grinder initially formulated NLP in 1975, reputedly duplicating the "magical results" of several top communicators and therapists. (These included Milton H. Erickson, M.D., the originator of Ericksonian Hypnosis.) Advanced Neuro Dynamics, Inc., in Honolulu, Hawaii, has promoted a style of NLP that "recognizes the importance of the human spirit and its connection with the mind and body." Pure NLP is the brand of NLP promoted by The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of techniques whose goal is to alter limiting patterns of thought, behavior, and language. In conversation, practitioners observe the client's language, eye movements, posture, breathing, and gestures in order to detect and then help change unconscious patterns linked to the client's emotional state.
The study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that.
Pop-psych from the mid 70s, largely modeled on the writings and work of Milton H. Erickson, couched in the jargon of Chomsky's "Syntactic Structures" but owing more conceptually to Korzybski's "Science and Sanity." Devotees are certain to take exception with this description.

The study of excellence and a model of how individuals structure their experience
is the study and methodical application of how people take in information from the world through their senses, how they re-present that information to themselves to think about it, how they filter, interpret, generalise, distort and delete that information with their values and beliefs, and how they form their states, behaviours and actions as a result. Essentially we take the understanding that an individual, their model of the world and objective reality are separate, and NLP studies the interaction and relationships between them.
Developed more than twenty years ago by John Grinder, a linguist, and Richard Bandler, a mathematician. Various methodologies and tools are used to create shifts in belief.
NLP is the study of the structure of subjective experience. The approach has drawn on different strands of psychology and linguistics to build a simple set of practices that can assist learning and performance in all walks of life. Essentially NLP involves being clear about what you want and how you might best achieve your goal. Back to the top
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a science of helping individuals communicate with their unconscious minds, while providing a way to detect unconscious patterns of thought and behavior in those suffering from allergies, arthritis, migraines, cancer, AIDS and other chronic conditions. NLP has shown effective results in improving mental, emotional and physical well-being.
a behavioral model and set of explicit skills and techniques founded by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. Defined as the study and mapping of the structure of the mind.
brief, solution-focused therapy mainly derived from studying the work of Milton H. Erickson and developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. Very technique orientated, but not grounded in a scientific understanding of the mind/body system. Promotes many questionable assumptions, such as that any skill can be "modelled" and rapidly learnt by anybody. Pioneered the early version of the rewind technique and also stress the importance of the effects of norminalisations on people in therapy. However, has become very culty in the way that it is promoted.
