This book is the first to fulfill the need for an enquiring, research-based and critical approach to the practice of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in business and organisations. It is essential reading for anyone who is interested in this innovative field of practice. NLP can be an effective and creative approach to developing people, yet is hampered by a lack of understanding on the one hand, and on the other by its failure so far to address some key concerns. Here you will discover everything you need to know about what NLP is, where it came from, how it links to other streams of thought, what the research evidence says, and how NLP approaches key issues such as ethics. Whether you are a practitioner, a client, a trainee, or someone who is thinking of using NLP, you will gain a new, deeply informed perspective on this field of practice
