The current of the NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming, English) is created in 1973 by John Grinder, professor of linguistics and the mathematician-programmer Richard Bendler (the personality with very doubtful history), in cooperation with the famous erudite anthropologist Gregory Beytson.
Despite of all these remarkable titles of above-mentioned creators founders, neurolinguistic programming or the NLP by the vast majority of specialists researchers is recognized scientific community as a pseudoscientific phenomenon.
According to authors and supporters of this doctrine, very unsafe for mentality, the NLP represents a set of methods, capable to considerably increase efficiency of human communications that, allegedly, gives advantage in psychotherapy, education, business management, sales, the interpersonal relations, seducing and some other fields of activity.
Let's answer a question: who needs programming of people?
Answers arise by itself, they are obvious: and to manipulate that who wants to operate us, that who wants to us, something to sell (often unnecessary us at all). Any attempts of conscious programming of a brain of the person, you see, look is somehow not too clean.
Generally conductors of the ideas of this direction and the applying NLP – people poorly educated. They are two types: those who think (present still, what anachronism, outside already, by the way, 2013!) that the NLP is an effective psychological technique, and those who grab the NLP as magic wand in hope something to sell (not important, material or not), these are even less formed.
Well, and it is clear – often statement level in numerous grants on the NLP corresponds to the level of development and education of students of professional vocational schools. Any professional psychologist is obliged to understand it. All NLPishnikov distinguishes one devil – they want to impose us something, and therefore as soon as they distinguished signs of imposing or attempt of manipulation in actions and the words of another, accurately (and it is possible and not really) drive them from yourself that is called a nasty broom.
They bullshit you and spend your time. They want, without having system knowledge and ideas of scientific and practical psychology, to apply the last, to achievement of own mercenary purposes. Roughly speaking, they want to push to us something. Who did not face at least annoying sellers? Their persuasive behavior just also is something, very close to the NLP even if they did not try to be interested in the last.
The normal person, in general, has to be afraid of the persuasive people who are especially claiming that they work by some wonderful technique. The social phenomenon of podsazhivaniye of people on various trainings of personal growth is already well-known. It is impossible to tell, of course, that all of them are unhealthy and pseudoscientific. However the common uniting feature is present: any training is, first of all, a way to earn for this purpose who will see off it. It is good if it is the honest expert using the techniques recognized in scientific community.
Supporters and agents of the NLP can pretend to be disinterested, for example, to claim that, allegedly, the NLP programming promotes effective training. Similar paltry ideas – for those who are lazy, do not want, do not love and are not able to study. Something all this reminds modern pseudo-scientific sects movements of type of scientology, valueology, dianetics and new age.
According to the main doctrine, the NLP is based that language and the movement (situation) of a body of each individual define an overall picture of his perception of the world. Which attitude and behavior these amateur psychologists self-confidently want to change by means of various enough primitive receptions and the technician. For the clever person all this looks not just primitively, and is terribly naive.
The basic principle of actions of the NLP is modeling of effective strategy that means existence of model – at least, a certain ingenious successful personality, the high quality expert in the area. Study and copying of such behavior models by means of reproduction of its unique cogitative and behavioural acts is offered. That is, we, kind of all the ordinary, low-endowed with talent people, let's equal on great. Well, it can for many and an exit. However to achieve true success in anything, it is necessary to be the independent, strong-willed person, free and independent of opinions of people around. Only such people are strong and successful personalities.
