Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed by Richard Bandler
and John Grindler out of their excellent work in modeling stellar
therapists such as Milton Erickson and Virginia Sater. The patterns
and techniques which they began, and still continue to develop are,
when used effectively, very affirming of the client's individual life
and needs. Over the past ten years I have studied and practiced both
Ericksonian techniques and NLP techniques developed by Bandler and
Grindler and others. I continue to make these central to my own counseling
methods.
