editThe structure of NLP intervention
editEven if many claims that NLP pretends to be a psychotherapy, like Witkowski [1] it is important to consider the historical back ground of NLP as NLP in itself is not a psychotherapy[2], but has developed through Bandler and Grinder’s modelling of the work of three therapists [3]. So, the NLP model do not consider people to be "broken" [4] and the aim of NLP intervention is not to heal a mental disease, but to create a context in which the person (the client) can disrupt the unwanted behavioural patterns and create a more effective one [5].
In the NLP model, there is also a crucial distinction between content and process. Content describes the data of the subjective experience, and the process is about the operations and frames. The NLP model focuses mainly on the process of subjective experience, how it works and how it is framed [3]. It is also mainly solution oriented [6]Ian McDermott (2001). In the NLP model, the intervention oriented towards to creating new processes leading from the present state towards to the desired state. In order to do that the NLP practitioner generally uses technics ordered in a general frame [7] [5] [6] [8]:
- Create a resourceful state for the practitioner and creating rapport with the client
- Identify the present state and the desired state and specifying an outcome
- Check ecology
- Pretest
- The practitioner does the core process of the intervention
- Post-test
- Future pacing (futurisation)
The different sub-processes (specifying an outcome, ecology checking, pretesting, post-testing, future pacing) are comonly used in other fields of coaching and psychotherapy [citation needed] like solution focused approach, CBT, etc.
Nevertheless Pr. Monique Esser points that there is no unique model of intervention as a great variety is observed depending on different factors: idiosyncrasy, practitioner's training, situation etc.[8]
