Despite its popularity, NLP has been largely ignored by conventional
social science because of issues of professional credibility and
insufficient empirical evidence to substantiate its models and claimed
effectiveness. It appears to have little impact on academic psychology
and limited effect on mainstream psychotherapy and counselling.
However, it has had some influence among private psychotherapists,
including hypnotherapists, to the extent that some claim to be trained
in NLP and apply it to their practice. NLP has had a greater influence
in management training, life coaching, and the self-help industry.
The early books about NLP had a psychotherapeutic focus especially
given that the early models were psychotherapists. As an approach to
psychotherapy, NLP shares similar core assumptions and foundations in
common with some contemporary brief and systemic practices, such as
solution focused brief therapy. NLP has also been acknowledged as
having influenced these practices with its reframing techniques which
seeks to achieve behaviour change by shifting its context or meaning,
for example, by finding the positive connotation of a thought or
behaviour.
The two main therapeutic uses of NLP are: (1) use as an adjunct by
therapists practicing in other therapeutic disciplines, and (2) as a
specific therapy called Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy which is
recognized by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy with
accreditation governed at first by the Association for Neuro Linguistic
Programming and more recently by its daughter organization the Neuro
Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association.
