Research on NLP - article resurrected (Tuesday February 16th, 2010)
I've resurrected an article written by Richard Bolstad, titled "Research on NLP". Richard summarised some of the key research done into NLP at the time of writing. More has been done since, some supports NLP and some doesn't. It's still my intention to write further on this topic, but for the moment here's Richard's original article. Research on NLP
At first glance it might not seem that the idea of a 'learning organisation', NLP, and hypnosis, all fit together. For me they do fit, here's how:
The Learning Organisation An organisation has to learn and evolve to keep pace with the changing nature of the market, the competition and the evolving needs of customers; but organisations can only learn if its people can learn. There are several aspects of a learning organisation: Systems Thinking, Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Visions and Team Learning.
NLP As an approach to communications, as a set of communication skills, and as a method of modelling, NLP is ideal to build the resources necessary for a learning organisation
Memory skills Learning doesn't happen by accident, and memory techniques can be used by anyone to develop impressive mental abilities.
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy Learning, performance, excellence - they all depend on overcoming limitations, stresses and anxieties, and for individuals hypnosis and hypnotherapy is one excellent way to resolve problems and build the skills of excellence.

My cage is still rattled... Richard's article (the link is above) was the first I read that quoted specific pieces of research which supported NLP. Some articles (I read one recently) make claims that "NLP has been disproven" but without quoting the research. There is quite a bit of research to support the principles and "theories" of NLP, as well as research that disputes NLP. I intend to investigate this more in the future, and write more about it. For the moment, if you're interested, I'd suggest two Wikipedia articles giving the two sides of the argument. At least these articles cite the original research (they each open in a new window): |
