1. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was created in the early 1970s by Richard Bandler, a computer scientist and Gestalt therapist, and Dr John Grinder, a linguist and therapist. Bandler and Grinder invented a process known as 'modelling' that enabled them to study three of the world's greatest therapists: Dr Milton Erickson, father of modern hypnotherapy; Fritz Perls, creator of Gestalt therapy; and Virginia Satir, the mother of modern-day family therapy. Their objective was to know what made these therapists effective and then to train others in their methods. NLP today is the product of this modelling process. NLP is used for helping oneself or others, in the improvement of performance in certain areas such as career, sports, music, relationships, etc., primarily through the willingness to change. A basic premise is that one sees the need for change, seeks help for that change, and practices the activities needed to achieve the change in performance or mind set. NLP is a clearly defined modelling process with its own set of techniques and applications making it possible to incorporate a skill of another person, or “exemplar”, who is looked up to for this specific skill.
