“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” (Arthur C. Clarke)
Friday 24 May, 9am - 3pm
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is made up of three parts:
neuro -brain/mind how we think and feel
linguistic -how we use language to influence others and ourselves
programming – how we achieve the goals we set.
NLP started with the book by Bandler and Grinder 1979 – frogs into princes. It set off a wave of training and intervention. An NLP practitioner will talk about patients running the wrong programme e.g. you are wanting to write a novel but you are using powerpoint not Word - you would be more effective with Word open. It is all about subjective experience which has a structure. So if you change the structure you can change the experience.
For example if you ask a patient with chronic pain what is the colour of their pain they will confidently and quickly tell you it is red or black (not many other colours). You can then ask them to change it to a safer colour and move it away. This will seem strange to practitioners who not used to this model of looking at symptoms.
NLP has a mixed reputation as there are very few quality randomised trials in the clinical literature. Professor Arroll, together with others, has undertaken two randomised trials on NLP processes. These include the rapid phobia cure for fear of heights (the largest study done to date) and the methodology was used for another phobia study by the Psychology Department at Oxford University. The other intervention is the “symptom shift” where you can reduce moderate stress (and pain) in a patient in a few minutes – it does come back but it shows the patient it is not part of them but something they can control.

- the rapid phobia cure for phobias
