The history of NLP from Wolfgang Volcker
Richard Wayne Bandler was born in 1950 in New Jersey. A couple of years later, his family moved to California, where he grew up in one of the poorest parts of San Jose, Bay Eria, north of San Francisco.
In the mid-sixties, Bandler was one of the long-haired flower children often seen on the streets of the American West Coast. As an active member of the hippie protest community, he was involved in organizing some of the biggest rock concerts in those years.
These times were characterized by a negative attitude towards traditions. The materialistic foundation of American society, the increasingly absurd escalation of the arms race, and the United States' military intervention in the Vietnam conflict have sparked an opposition trend that denies society's norms of success. Many young people saw the solution to the most important problems of their time in taking a position of extreme individualism. They saw a way out of the global crisis in the reassessment of values. Not Motherland, family and success, but love, peace and personal happiness were to become the slogan of new times. The flight from cities, drug experiences, religious mysticism and, above all, new rock music became the expression of this approach to life.
Лето 1967 года - известное как лето любви (Sammer ofLove) это расцвет, так называемой, музыки Западного Побережья, с которой были связаны такие известные исполнители как: The GratefulDead, JeffersonAirplane, Santana, The Steve MillerBand, The Birds, Coyntry Joe andthe Fish, JanisJoplin iQuicksilver MessengerService. Many people met in the open air to listen to the sounds of today's legendary bands, and to celebrate the peaceful revolution of the Flower Power movement, under the influence of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin mushrooms and hashish.
This cultural revolution culminated in the iconic Woodstock Festival. In September 1969, for the first time in history, nearly half a million people gathered on the East Coast to celebrate the entry into a new era of love, harmony and peace. Everything seemed possible. The idea came to an unexpected end on December 6, 1969, when a member of the Hells Angels, during one of the Rolling Stones' concerts at the Altamont Speedway near San Francisco, killed eighteen-year-old Negro Meredith Hunter in front of the stage. Thus the dream of Woodstock Nation perished.
However, in 1967, the youth's faith in the future and the conviction of the opportunity to change by exposing the world was not yet broken. Becky, the wife of Robert S. Spitzer, a renowned psychiatrist and president of Sciens & Behavior Books in Palo Alto, brought her husband's attention to the amazing talents of a 17-year-old Fremont High School student, whom she hired to teach her son Dan how to play the drums. What fascinated Becky Spitzer about Richard Bandler was his openness to philosophical issues and the manner in which he taught music.
The Spitzers did their best to support Bandler's abilities. Robert Spitzer described him as unusually dexterous and all-round talented. Therefore, he entrusted him with various tasks and attracted him to work in a publishing house. Bandler's responsibilities included working in the store, as well as preparing tape and video recordings for therapy seminars.
Bandler began his tumultuous academic career at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills for two years. According to Spitzer's information, he managed to drive some of his teachers to despair. He did not compromise, even if the question only touched on the details, completely disobeying the rituals of academic life
After he graduated from college, Bandler attended the University of California, Santa Cruz. Spitzer and his wife, who became more and more influential Bandler's mentors as time went on, owned a small summer cottage in a village near Santa Cruz. They allowed him to build a house on his land. For a time, Bandler lived there with a girlfriend and a dog.
Santa Cruz is a small town in the north of Monterey Bay, south of San Francisco. There is a university in the city, very nicely located. At that time, the city had about forty thousand inhabitants, leading a cultural life rich in experiments. Many famous personalities from the world of culture lived here: director Alfred Hitchcock, actress Shirley Temple, fiction writer Frank Herbert, as well as members of the Santana and Dubi Brothers group.
Richard Alpert, a former colleague of Timothy Leary at Harvard University, returned from India and also lived in Santa Cruz, already as a spiritual master - under the name of Baba Ram Dass. Alpert was, along with Ralph Metzner and Leary, co-author of the classic work of the psychedelic movement, which was to serve as a guide to the world of LSD experimentation. Gregory Bateson also lived at this time in Santa Cruz. He is the creator of cybernetic epistemology, a concept that has become the basis of the modern holistic view of the world.
In esoteric circles, to this day, Santa Cruz is considered a special "place of power". This definition points to the heterogeneity of the actions that have been taken there in recent decades to learn about the spiritual, personal and general life dimensions.
Richard Bandler's meeting with gestalt therapy
Early on, Bandler enrolled in philosophy, mathematics, and computer science courses. However, as time went on, his interests are increasingly focused on the sciences of human behavior. He devoted particular attention, along with the latest therapies such as Rolfing and family therapy, primarily to the work of Perls.
Perls, the creator of Gestalt Therapy, was experiencing, according to his assessment, a period of peak opportunities in the field of teaching and writing. In December 1969, he signed several books with Robert Spitzer. Their theme was to be the philosophy and psychotherapeutic practice of gestalt therapy. Perls worked on these issues with his wife Laura and the philosopher Paul Goodman, a sociologist, alternative educator, and writer.
Perls had to present in books the essence of his work, in a way that would enable the educated layman to understand it. Along with the manuscripts and lectures, the books were to contain primarily transcriptions of films showing Perls at work. The author was convinced that such transcriptions would be the main foundation for interesting discoveries from the field of the present therapy process. He believed that the essence of a gestaltist's work could be captured much better by reading transcriptions than by studying theoretical texts. Unfortunately, the unexpected death of Perls in 1970 called this project into question. Spitzer was faced with the problem of what to do with the vast material left behind by Perls. Initially, he asked some of Perls's students to help with the publication of these works. Since they refused his offer,
Bandler was tasked with selecting and recording Perls' introductory gestalt sessions. The transcriptions were supposed to complement the author's text. Spitzer later wrote that Bandler, almost like a madman, put on headphones day after day, watched films and prepared accurate transcriptions. Intense work led him to the fact that Bandler began to speak and act like Perls. Spitzer humorously describes that a couple of times he caught himself calling Bandler "Fritz" by accident.
Perls' unfinished manuscript The GestaltApproach (Gestalt Approach) was published first. This was followed by a second book, Eye Witnessto Therapy, which consisted mostly of transcriptions of Perls' instructional films. Two years later, Bandler published the following collection of selected transcriptions under the title Legacy from Fritz.
Even though Bandler did not know Perls personally, it is clear that through his work on publications, he fell under his influence.
The first groups 1972 - 1973
In the early seventies, an extremely liberal atmosphere reigned at the University of California Santa Cruz, the class was not dominated by exclusively scientific-orthodox views. Especially popular among psychology students was Kresge College, where Gregory Bateson was then working. It was possible to carry out experimental group activities there.
Richard Bandler
In the spring of 1972, Bandler, frustrated by the alien content of the academic curriculum, organized Gestalt therapy practice classes at Kresge College, taking advantage of the opportunity given to undergraduate students to plan and conduct classes themselves. Students participating in such classes received documents on their passage, which were also recognized as issued by professors.
Working with Gestalt theory was at the time absolute news in the behavior-oriented learning process. Although there were two groups dealing with issues of human sensation, their principles came mainly from the concept of Karl Rogers - the creator of client-centered therapy. He was one of the fathers of the so-called humanistic psychology, which was born in 1962 in the Society for Humanistic Therapy, as a third force in psychology, alongside the then dominant schools of psychoanalysis and behaviorism. During this time, Rogers' non-directive and personal growth views entered salons in the forefront of academia as well. This, among other things, was expressed by the high activity of encounter groups, the creation of which was fashionable in many higher educational institutions.
Despite many programmatic similarities with the fundamentals of Perls' gestalt therapy (related to the so-called humanistic therapy), the work of these groups in the seventies, in principle, was directed more towards group dynamics and focused on the movement of authenticity. Therefore, the Bandler group was significantly different from the usual meeting groups. From the outset, he was interested in analyzing the therapeutic effects of Gestalt theory within a group. In addition, the exercises at the seminars opened up the opportunity for him to develop his own practical competence, which until then remained only in theory.
Richard Bandler's collaboration with John Grinder
John Grinder, ten years older than Bandler, became the supervisor of his Gestalt therapy workshop group.
Grinder was born on January 10, 1939 in Michigan. In his youth, he worked as an undercover CIA agent in Germany, Italy and Yugoslavia. In the early seventies, his name became famous among lovers of generative-transformational grammar, going back to Noem Chomsky. He also served as an Associate Assistant Professor of Linguistics under Gregory Bateson at Kresge College.
At this time, Grinder was already very much involved in the development of advanced teaching methods. At the time of his acquaintance with Bandler, he was an absolute beginner in the field of therapy and counseling. Despite this, he quickly recognized Bandler's extraordinary therapeutic abilities. The activity of the latter aroused interest also among students interested in this issue. Through oral propaganda, gestalt groups quickly emerged. Their meetings took place in private on weekends or evenings. In the beginning, Bandler led the groups himself. Then Grinder got involved. Bandler personally introduced him to the therapeutic process. What was happening then was presented by Joseph O'Connor and John Seymour as follows:
Richard let him know which of the patterns, in his opinion, are the most important, accentuating them with a glance or intonation. John learned quickly. It took him two months to learn the patterns and be ready to lead the group just like Richard. He met her on Tuesday nights and called her the "re-miracle" group. As the members experienced on Tuesday with John the same miracles that members of Richard's group on Monday experienced earlier."
Modeling is a process in which the main thing is to learn the specific abilities of one person to transfer to another, so that the latter can practically use them. This is a process in which the appropriate patterns are first selected, and then, during the presentation of the types of behavior of interest, they are analyzed systematically and carefully by asking questions. In the final phase, using the demonstration of models, the basic rules and patterns of behavior are determined, which are adopted, and their impact is tested. Therefore, in principle, during the simulation, an attempt is made to recreate the above process, decomposing it into essential components in order to enable third parties to learn it.
Modeling was first applied in the United States during trade training called Master-Modeling. Bandler and Grinder first used it in therapeutic communication. This became possible because at the time of his meeting with Richard Bandler, John Grinder was already experimenting with modeling in the field of language learning.
Grinder thus contributed linguistic knowledge and his experience in creating models to the collaboration with Bandler. Bandler at the same time had experience with modern therapeutic schools such as Gestalt therapy, family therapy, Rolfing and Reiki. In addition, he showed an extraordinary talent for accurately copying the behavior of other people.
Experimentally oriented, and only initially directed towards gestalt therapy, Bandler's and Grinder's groups soon became a permanent feature of group activity at Santa Cruz. Their original activity was described by Terrence McClendon in the well-read book The WildDays. NLP 1972-1981 (Crazy Days. NLP 1972-1981). This group is highly grateful to the personality of Richard Bandler, who already then, in a way characteristic of his young age, was unusually energetic to implement his projects. He often used a phrase that reflected his position: "GO FORIT ... NOW !!! (" DO IT ... NOW !!!).
Meeting with Virginia Satyr
Richard Bandler met Virginia Satir, the creator of Conjoint Family Therau, also through Robert Spitzer and his wife. Spitzer knew Virginia Satir not only from her publications at his publishing house, he was also her official representative at the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in Palo Alto. This institute was founded in November 1958 in order to conduct basic research on cybernetic models related to the occurrence and treatment of mental disorders. In the phase of organizing this institution, Spitzer formally took the position of director of the training department, since it was possible to count on public subsidies only if this department was officially represented by a psychiatrist. However, since 1966, it was informally managed by Virginia Satir.
Richard Bandler and Virginia Satyr met for the first time in 1972, at the already mentioned dacha of Robert and Becky Spitzer, located on the same land where Richard lived. About thirty people were there that day to support Virginia Satyr in her work with an Israeli friend of the Spitzer family.
Shortly thereafter, Bandler accompanied the Spitzers to Reno to meet Bud and Michelle Baldwin. They organized courses with Virginia Satir, which also included a hands-on demonstration of her work with two families. Bandler's work made an extraordinary impression on him.
At this time, even before work on Perls' publications began, Robert Spitzer asked Bandler to tape one of the Virginia Satir's seminars and transcribe it. For this, Bandler had to go with him to Canada, where Satyr spent four weeks training. Spitzer planned to use the material in the book. He also agreed with his wife that being able to watch the Virginia Satyr while on the job could be useful to Richard Bandler. O'Connor and Seymour described one event that took place at this seminar that conveyed what was probably typical of Bandler's behavior at the time:
“Throughout the training, he was isolated in a small recording room. Communication with the classroom was only possible with a microphone. Bandler had two-channel headphones and checked the sound of the recording with one ear, while listening to Pink Floyd tapes with the other. In the last week, Virginia organized a meeting asking participants how they should behave using the material she was teaching them. It turned out that this was too difficult for the audience. Then Richard walked into the room and successfully solved the problem. Virginia said, "Okay will be true." Richard was in a strange situation - he knew more about Virginia patterns than any of the participants, despite the fact that he did not consciously try to study them."
Over the next several months, Bandler transcribed extensive material. Also in this case, intensive work on the recordings led to the fact that from a certain moment he began to adopt the intonation and phraseology of Virginia Satir. As usual, Bandler demonstrated his extraordinary talent for quickly and effectively teaching other people's behavior patterns. First of all, he used the strategy that he had previously applied in music. If he wanted to learn the playing style of a musician whom he admired, he listened to recordings of his works for so long until he was able to personify himself with him so that he could imitate it well enough.
From 1972 to 1974, Bandler participated in the Virginia Satyr training programs as often as he could. He was most often responsible for their video and audio recording. Satyr presented at this time, among others, two therapeutic tools, on the improvement of which she had been working since the half of the sixties. She called them "Parts Party" and "family reconstruction".
Bandler was so impressed with her ability to notice and her therapeutic knowledge that he introduced her techniques into his group work. Thus, they used both the methods of gestalt therapy and the experience of Virginia Satyr. She herself describes these times in an interview she gave to Ges Jurgens and Tees Stele in May 1981:
"Richard was then a twenty-two-year-old young man and today he is not too old. Then he was still maturing, asking many questions about the causes of the phenomena. After all, he was an outsider. Somehow he managed to contact my publishing house and get a job there [...]. was one of the flower children. [...]
He started reading my books and they interested him. Every day I brought him some new reading, because his intellect was simply fantastic, peculiar only to extraordinary people. [...] My publisher wanted to record one of the trainings and Richard accepted the assignment. Since he was a great technician - he is a great musician - my publisher asked him to make some recordings. He started work and was very excited about what was happening. It so happened that I made a "trick for parts" for him. This he had never experienced in his life, being very surprised at the changes that this caused in him. Thus, he began to wonder how the change came about. He asked me for my audio and video recordings, as well as papers and began to study them. Then he met John Grinder, who was a linguist. They met and it became interesting - I was greatly intrigued by what they would come up with together. I could only guess. Many of my endeavors were based on intuition, which I then could not translate into the language of the left hemisphere. The first book is proof of how much we were worried - both me and them.
Then Richard decided to look for other people whose work, in which he was confident, would reveal the essence of the power that causes such huge changes. They were Milton Erickson and Fritz Perls. Bandler and Grinder managed to find a solution to perfect my work methods and analyze it in relation to the work of Milton and Fritz. Then they discovered that the same elements are involved all the time in the described process. They have succeeded in sublimating the structure of change from our patterns of behavior. This is what The Structure of Magic talks about. This was the first part of the story. During this time, many great things happened - I sent different people to them, both came to me to show what they had done and so on."
Soon, in this context, the idea of modeling the key personalities of modern therapy was born. As a result of the development of technology, when it turned out that it was possible to record the therapy masters on audio and video cassettes without any financial difficulties, it became possible to deeply and systematically analyze the therapeutic processes. Bandler and Grinder developed observational behaviors that they tested for success in various groups. They were constantly demonstrating new, unconventional therapeutic techniques that they became acquainted with through researching Perls's work and Virginia Satir's courses.
The birth of neurolinguistic programming (NLP)
Meta Model Groups
In early 1974, Bandler and Grinder began the Meta Model project, which became the basis for neuro-linguistic programming. As part of the group, meeting at the student home on Mission Street, Santa Cruz, they began work on methods of obtaining information.
Leslie Cameron (1980s) and Judith DeLosier (2000)
During this period, the core of the permanent participants emerged. Almost all of them later became famous figures of NLP, in the creation of which they actively participated. Initially, the group focused on couples counseling, gestalt therapy, and family sculpture, another technique that Virginia Satir has perfected as part of family therapy.
Todd Epstein, Judith DeLosier, Robert Dilts. 1980s
During this period, an interesting development of interhuman relations began in the group. Participants were more and more open, more often talking about personal issues. The effect of this was strong emotional bonds between the members of the group. Among others, it included: Leslie Cameron, the future wife of Richard Bandler, Judith DeLosier, who will marry John Grinder, Frank Pucelik, Byron Lewis, David Gordon, Steve Gilligen, Meribeth Anderson, Jim Eicher, Paul Carter, Terrence McClendon and Robert Dilts. Terrence McClendon identified this era as the birth of neurolinguistic programming.
The basis of the research in the Meta Model groups was the assumption that, excluding methods focused solely on the body, verbal communication between therapist and client is central to every therapeutic work. It was accepted that in the verbal communication of Perls and Satir, specific linguistic patterns can be distinguished, indicating problem processes and causing changes. The linguistic knowledge of John Grinder gave the first definition of these linguistic patterns and a test of their impact.
The research results were published in 1975 by Sciens & Behavior Books in the first volume of The Structure of Magic. On the basis of the general semantics of Alfred Kozhibsky and the generative-transformational grammar of Noem Chomsky, Bandler and Grinder really managed to develop the foundations for a model that made it possible to purposefully collect information about the world represented by a person (a model of the world). It has also been successful in an attempt to model and accurately describe the structure of the essential language abilities of Perls and Satir in the field of successful communication between therapist and client.
While working on the Meta Model, Bandler and Grinder had an animated dialogue with Virginia Satir and Gregory Bateson. Bandler at this time moved to an area called Acorn Hollow. The Spitzers also owned land there, on which a particularly talented society of therapists and artists arose. A publishing house was also located on this land. Gregory Bateson and his wife lived there then with their daughter Nora. They moved here because Louise Bateson was interested in alternative forms of childbirth. Virginia Satir has known the Batesons since the MRI days and was friends with them. She even considered moving to Acorn Hollow. Due to a very close relationship with Nora Bateson, she willingly stayed there in her free time. Later, John Grinder also settled here.
Arkon Hollow was thus the intellectual center at the time. The state of excitement reigning there was reflected in the introductions by Gregory Bateson and Virginia Satir to the first volume of The Structure of Magic. The satyr wrote:
“This book is the result of the collaboration of two adorable, capable young people who want to study how change occurs and are willing to document the process. elements makes it possible to use them consciously, so we got useful methods of making changes [...] I could not write this introduction without expressing my surprise, admiration and impressions. For many years I was a trainer and theorist, and also worked in a clinic This means that I have seen the changes in families. [...] I have my own theory of how to cause them. Knowledge of this process has now expanded significantly, thanks to Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who can speak in a concrete, sensible way about the components of the phenomenon that is open and described by them."
Meeting with Milton Erickson
Milton erickson
Richard Bandler and John Grinder, according to their own words, first became interested in hypnosis when they noticed that the behavior of their clients during work, with the so-called guided fantasies, hardly differs from the descriptions of the behavior of people in a state of moderate to deep trance.
Gregory Bateson drew Bandler and Grinder's attention to Milton Erickson, the creator of modern hypnotherapy. Bateson personally knew him for a long time and was friends with him. Already greatly weakened by illness, Erickson was living in Phoenix, Arizona at the time, teaching students from all over the world at home. Since late 1974, Richard Bandler and John Grinder have personally visited Erickson many times to participate in his seminars.
Their initial goal was to study Erickson's work, using the same techniques that they had already worked out in their research on the work of Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls. They talked for hours with Erickson, and his meetings with clients were recorded on tape and cassettes. In addition, they studied his written works, receiving additional notes and transcripts from him and his student Ernest Rossi. They later analyzed them for micropatterns in Erickson's behavior.
For John Grinder and Richard Bandler, the meeting with Milton Erickson was a lucky break, as Erickson was the first significant therapist to turn from abstract theoretical speculation about the nature of violations to pragmatically directed strategies for change. According to his expectations, his work turned out to be a real treasury of ideas for them. Bandler and Grinder saw him as a person who devoted his entire life to the study of communication patterns that cause change. Erickson's activities thus became an excellent object of study for them, since their goal was to create possible models for transmission and study of just such communication strategies.
Already in the second half of 1974, probably for some time in parallel with the Meta Model groups, Bandler and Grinder began to organize seminars where they dealt with therapeutic changes and the structure of hypnotic communication. Initially, they concentrated on the linguistic processing of Erickson's language patterns. As with the study of the work of Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls, the two young researchers first set about isolating Erickson's language patterns and incorporating them into a rational, accessible system. Since the Meta Model, also the Milton Model, arose during specially held seminars, where theoretical considerations were exchanged and practical tests were carried out.
The results of Bandler and Grinder's work were published in 1975 by the Meta Publications they founded. First of all, it was supposed to promote the literature on the new model, which was then called "neurolinguistic programming" (NLP).
1974 and 1975 bands
The reconstruction of the early of the emergence of NLP clearly demonstrates what an unusually strong influence on the further direction of the development of the started project had the study of Erickson's activities. Many of the views on psychotherapy, which up to a certain point formed the point of view of Bandler and Grinder, were abandoned in 1974. Gone are the days when this field of science was dominated by the belief of a cordial, authentic and empathic therapist ... The meeting groups began intensive experiments with different types of communication behavior. Indeed, it can be admitted that since 1974 Erickson's pragmatic method of work, aimed in its essence at specific goals and using a variety of means, was the most popular among the creators of NLP. Their motto was now: "When what you do doesn't work.
The aim of the activities of the various groups in 1974 and 1975 was primarily to develop the following formal models for communication processes. In the foreground of their interests, along with linguistic activity, was the non-verbal behavior of Perls, Satyr and Erickson. Non-verbal communication seemed to be an extremely important part of their therapeutic impact. Erikson has already discovered the possibility of using non-verbal contact to drive change with clients. He spent many years of his life shaping such communication and adjusting it to therapeutic processes. The models that Bandler and Grinder now wanted to develop were also intended to assist in the analysis and presentation of the structure of effective patterns of non-verbal therapeutic communication.
Thus, this period marks the initiation of a real NLP project - the creation of general models of communication, subjective experiences and changes. Bandler and Grinder hoped that these models would make it possible to accurately represent the communication structures that lead to change. For the first time, the possibility of appropriating the experience of therapeutic magic had to arise. The point was to develop patterns based on a narrowly formal description of what therapeutic magicians such as Perls, Satyr, and Erickson did, not what they assumed they were doing.
By no means did anyone want to limit the use of these models only for the needs of psychotherapy. They were designed in such a way that they could be applied in all communication processes. Because they emerged as part of the psychotherapeutic work on change, it is widely believed that NLP is a new form of psychotherapy. However, non-linguistic programming models are inherently constructed in such a way that they make it possible to model any human experience and behavior. Therefore, communication techniques and therapeutic methods leading to changes, which are now being introduced in courses, are, in principle, only the effects of the application of these models in certain areas of human communication.
The first contours of the main NLP model, the so-called 4-Tupel, or Model Four, became visible in late 1974. With her help, programmers began researching altered states of consciousness. Now the question did not concern only psychotherapy. The main subject of their interests was rather the structure of communication behavior that causes changes and the inseparable question about the structure of subjective experience and the nature of altered states of consciousness. In addition to applying the methods of Perls and Satyr, experiments were also carried out with various techniques from the field of trance induction, Erickson's hypnotic language patterns and with indirect metaphorical communication. Also, the so-called phenomena of deep trance, such as: positive and negative hallucinations, distortion of time perception, amnesia, insensitivity to pain, age regression, hand levitation, catalepsy and the like have been studied in detail by specialists in neurolinguistic programming. The first partial NLP patterns emerged, and their success was confirmed. The results of this intense experimental phase were published in three books, which are still part of the mainstream literature on NLP. In these publications, models are presented that make it possible to shape almost any behavior and sensation, as well as to develop new forms of intervention. which are still part of the mainstream literature on NLP.
