John Grinder and Richard Bandler, at the time a student of psychology, went on to develop a new filed called Neuro Linguistic programming. They began working together after Bandler invited John to some of his therapy groups. It was there that he became aware of the way therapists use linguistic patterns to great effect with their patients.
John and Richard studied the language patterns used effectively by therapists such as Virginia Satir, Milton H. Erickson and Fritz Perls. These patterns along with transformational grammar became the basis for the pairs own model known as Neuro Linguistic Programming.
The Neuro Linguist Programming model was developed even further using books published by these same therapists and later became the foundation of NLP. Grinder has also co-written many other books on NLP and its practical applications and theory.
