A possible NLP History

The NLP history is difficult to write about because Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a house divided with the two main groups being those trained by Dr. Richard Bandler ’s and John and Kathleen LaValle known as the Society of NLP of which I trained and am affiliated and those students that were trained through the International Training Academy of NLP and are students of John Grinder , Carmen Bostic St. Clair and Michael Carroll.

I’m sure that there are many versions of this NLP history and I will do my best to be sure that this is as true as possible, but if there are any challenges to this account they are just as likely to be true as this one is. MasterSamNaples-NLP-Hypnotherapy has written this history with the utmost gratitude and respect for all people involved with the inseption and development of NLP and is always willing to add or correct anything in this history that is incorrect.

NLP history begins with a young Richard Bandler, a physics, computer science student at University of California at Santa Cruz in the early 1970’s. While watching video’s of Gestalt Therapy founder Fritz Perls, which Bandler was transcribing for Bob Spitzer, he began to see linguistic patterns that Perls used affect change in the people he did therapy with.
