NEUROLINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING

Richard BANDLER John GRINDLER

In the mid 1970’s as an alternative form of therapy

They focused on

How people influence each other How successful communicators

achieved their success

NLP is,

* a collection of - techniques - patterns - strategies for assisting effective

communication and learning.* based on the assumptions about - how mind works - how people act and interact ( Revell&

Norman 1997:14 )

It refers to attitudes

To life To people To self-discovery and awareness

APPROACH: THEORY OF LANGUAGE AND LEARNING

* Nlp has no relationship with the sciene of neurolinguistics and behaviourist theories of learning.

* Neuro > the brain and its functions

* Linguistic > a theory of communication

* Programming > achieving some behaviouring and thinking abilities.

* Programming and deprogramming clients’ behaviours is similar to computer programming.

* Modelling > finding successful models in order to be successful.

* Values, beliefs, emotions, and experiences can also be modelled.

*** Explanation of Revell and Norman for the name Nlp:

* Neuro > the relationship between our five senses and our neurological process.

* Linguistic part of nlp is about the language we use when we shape or reflect our experiences of the world.

* At the programming stage, we try to discover new methods for thinking, speaking, and acting in a better way.

In conclusion:

NLP * cannot be regarded as a teaching

method.

* helps people feel more confident. * is more effective on creating

positive expectations, bonding, etc.

* benefits from communicative or humanistic repertoire.

* is both teacher and learner centered.

Criticism of NLP

* not based on the scientific method.* a lack of empirical research or

evidence.* a half-baked conflation of pop

psychology and pseudo-science.* ineffective, ethically questionable,

pseudo-scientific, full of unwarranted claims.
