Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a behavioral and communication-based approach that explores the relationships between neurology (neuro), language (linguistic), and patterns of behavior (programming).
History
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It focuses on studying and modeling the thought processes, language patterns, and behaviors of successful individuals, with the aim of improving communication, personal development, and therapeutic techniques. NLP has gained popularity in various fields, though it has also faced criticism for its lack of scientific evidence. Despite this, NLP remains widely used in coaching, therapy, and self-help programs for its practical and outcome-oriented approach to behavior change and communication.
