This review is from: Maps, Models, and the Structure of Reality: Nlp Technology in Psychotherapy (Paperback)

This book, first published in 1990, is still valuable for appreciating the philosophical basis of modeling and our construction of reality. Change involves changing our models. The key concepts of the early Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), with the emphasis on relationship, the use of language, especially the meta model, the use of various types of reframing are all illustrated with specific examples, transcripts and stories. The book is easy to read and one gets a good understanding of the foundations of NLP and its applications to therapy. Given this introduction, one can move on to O'Connor and Seymour's Introducing NLP and subsequently methodically study Robert Dilts' more recent writings in Modeling with NLP and Sleight of Mouth.
