ABSTRACT
NLP began life as a way to meet a need of its co-creators, John Grinder, a mathematician, and Richard Bandler, a linguist. They wanted to satisfy their curiosity. ‘How come,’ they wondered, ‘some healers are really good at what they do?’ And when they asked this question to experts in their field – family therapist Virginia Satir and hypnotherapist Milton Erickson – neither of them could answer, other than the vaguest of: ‘Well, we just do what we do, ask a few questions that seem right to ask and make a few comments that seem right to make at the time.’
