Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

[zash01]

Hello I am interested in doing the following course but I have not heard many reviews as in whether it will be worth my while. It deals with how to deal with people better etc…

Can someone who specialises in the psycology field please give me tips in relation to this method.

Regards

Zash 01 Wow!!! Brilliant thread!!!Ok !!! If you dont mind Ill explain..NLP provides the tools and techniques to help you effectively communicate with people, motivate urself and others, think poistively and create actions to make a difference- its actuall the study of human excellence and demonsrates how to communicate effectively whilst influencing others.
It was was developed in the lates 70s by psychologists who were studying successful people in order to analyse succesful behaviours. They considered styles of lang, brain patterns, and how words and actions are linked togther to form certainprogrammes or sequences of behavior

ITS REALLY BRILLIANT- Go for it!!!!

self help crock!

Because of the absence of any firm empirical evidence supporting its sometimes extravagant claims, NLP has enjoyed little or no support from the scientific community. It continues to make no impact on mainstream academic psychology, and only limited impact on mainstream psychotherapy and counselling.[12] However, it has some influence among private psychotherapists, including hypnotherapists, to the extent that they claim to be trained in NLP and ‘use NLP’ in their work. It has also had an enormous influence in management training, life coaching, and the self-help industry[13].

Re: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

if its for your personal enjoyment go for it. if ur seriously considering this as a career choice please be advised that this enjoys zero academic recognition and is most probably pseudoscience. There may have been one or two sound insights by the original proponents, however like most psuedoscience it is now flooded with bogus practitioners out to make a quick buck.

Hi all- I cannot comment for the US- only the UK and ME- its being used and researched in the UK and its slowly making its way in the ME- it is gaining academic recognition in Schools and now Universities and is seen as a compliment to Emotional Intelligence ( EQ) , its brilliant for life coaching and psychology especially when in schools, unis and colleges and the work place youre interacting with people.....
