Questions about NLP Training Schools (e.g., NLP University, Society of NLP)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in the mid-1970s. Their core method was modelling, which meant studying the communication patterns of highly effective therapists (Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, Milton Erickson) and turning those patterns into teachable frameworks. Their foundational books, *The Structure of Magic* (1975) and the Erickson patterns volumes, established the intellectual basis still taught in NLP schools today.
