Neuro-linguistic programming - Background. One of the earliest influences on NLP were General Semantics (Alfred Korzybski) as a new perspective for looking at the world which included a kind of mental hygiene. This was a departure from the Aristotelian concepts of modern science and objective reality, and it influenced notions of programming the mind. Korzybski General semantics influenced several schools of thought, leading to a viable human potential industry and associations with emerging New Age thinking. By ...

All NLP literature refers to the altering of one's neurology through the neural pathways of the senses and the neural circuits of the brain. Most current NLP literature mentions no more than the reprogramming of mental habits and associations. However, the Engram[120] is used within NLP to explain how NLP works [121][122] [123][124].

NLP has been empirically tested over many years and many of its models and methods have been found to be largely ineffective [160]. In relation to current understanding of neurology and perception, NLP is in error (Bertelsen, 1987), and instead of being grounded in contemporary, scientifically derived neurological theory, NLP is based on outdated metaphors of brain funct ...

All NLP literature refers to the altering of one's neurology through the neural pathways of the senses and the neural circuits of the brain.

However, the neurological concept engrams is used by some NLP theorists to explain how NLP works [5][6](Drenth 2003; Levelt 1995). Some practitioners theorize that NLP processes can be explained through the neurological concepts of programming and reprogramming engrams (Sinclair 1992). Within N ...

NLP has been empirically tested over many years and many of its models and methods have been found to be largely ineffective (Singer & Lalich, 1996). The 1988 US National Committee (a board of 14 prepared scientific experts) report found that "Individually, and as a group, these studies fail to provide an empirical base of support for NLP assumptions...or NLP effectiveness. The committee cannot recommend the employment of such an unvalidated technique" (Druckman & Swets, 1988). In addition, Edgar Johnson, technical director of ...

NLP participants are taught that the human mind is programmed, and that we have all been mis-programmed by negative input. Like Scientology, rebirthing and other alternative therapies (Raso 1994)(Lilienfeld 2003) NLP embraces this Null Hypothesis and the classic New Age concept of "clearing" these non-existent blocks (Singer 1996). While the more traditional therapies concentrate on solving problems by focusing on the reasons 'why' (Singer 1996), Neurolinguistic programming looks at the 'hows' to provide a quick fix to a solution See also:

Robbins is the inventor and proponent of what he refers to as neuroassociative conditioning, which is based on Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). Robbins studied NLP under NLP co-founder John Grinder, who encouraged him to look into the firewalk, experience which became the foundation of his popular firewalk seminars. The book Unlimited Power offers a number of examples of how to employ elements of NLP in day to day situations. He also conducts a number of seminars, most famously his four-day Unleash the Power Within, d ...

Main discussion: Neuro-linguistic programming#Criticism Criticisms of NLP's actual principles (as opposed to NLP itself) generally fall into two camps: The subject is open ended, that is, it does not specify how the information it obtains should be used, or what can be done with it. So NLP becomes very prone to quackery, incorporation of pseudoscience, and manipulative uses. Blame for this is especially directed towards the principle "Use whatever works", which opens the floodgates for idiosyncratic dubious o ...

In NLP, the term "Programs" is used as a synonym for “strategy”, which are specific sequences of mental steps, mostly indicated by their representational activity (using VAKOG), leading to a behavioral outcome. In the entry for the term “Strategy” in their Encyclopedia, Robert Dilts & Judith Delozier explicitly refer to the mind as computer metaphor: "A strategy is like a program in a computer. It tells you what to do with the information you are getting, and like a computer program, you can use the same strategy to process a ...

The use of the term program when talking about the human mind originates from the cybernetics metaphor, which considers the human brain as a biocomputer to which one can apply all principles known in computing. The cybernetic model had been named by Norbert Wiener around 1946, and became influential through the Macy conferences, which were held between 1942 and 1953 and attended by prominent members as Gregory Bateson, Warren McCulloch, John Von Neuman, Walter Pitts, Norbert Wiener et al. This metaphor has been inspired on the Turing ...

Milton Erickson was a master of brief therapy, using clinical hypnosis as his primary tool. To a great extent he developed this himself. His approach was popularized by Jay Haley, in the book "Uncommon therapy: The psychiatric techniques of Milton Erickson M.D." "The analogy Erickson uses is that of a person who wants to change the course of a river. if he opposes the river by trying to block it, the river will merely go over and around him. But if he accepts the force of the river and diverts it in a new direction, the force of the river will cut a new ch ...

John Thomas Grinder graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in psychology in the early 1960's. Grinder then entered the Military of the United States where he served as a Captain in the US Special Forces in Europe during the Cold War; following this he apparently went on to work for a US Intelligence Agency. In the late 1960's, Grinder went back to college to study Linguistics and in 1972 receieved his Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego for his wor ...

Because TDS is a compelling, automatic and unconscious state of internal focus and processing (i.e. a type of everyday trance state), and often a state of internal lack of certainty or openness to finding an answer (since something is being checked out at that moment), it can be utilized or interrupted, in order to create, or deepen, trance. TDS is a fundamental part of human language and cognitive processing. Arguably, every word a person hears, for example, and everything they see or feel and take note of, results in ...

Gregory Bateson, in "Form, Substance and Difference," from Steps to an Ecology of Mind (ISBN 0226039056), elucidates the essential impossibility of knowing what the territory is, as any understanding of it is based on some representation: We say the map is different from the territory. But what is the territory? Operationally, somebody went out with a retina or a measuring stick and made representations which were then put on paper. What is on the paper map is a representation of what was in the retinal representation of ...
