Neuro-Linguistic Programming

NLP now

The Bandler and Grinder partnership came to an end in the late 1970s, and they went their separate ways. Both, though, continue to be active in the NLP world.

Bandler has gone on to create a number of trade-marked models, including Design Human Engineering and Persuasion Engineering. He has written several books, and regularly leads training in NLP and hypnosis, both in the UK and overseas.

John Grinder, with Judith DeLozier and others, developed 'New Code' NLP. Whereas 'Classic' or 'Old Coding' NLP drew its inspiration primarily from linguistics, Gestalt and systems theory, 'New Code' has its roots in information theory and the books of Carlos Casteneda. The result has been many new models, patterns and techniques, including Perceptual Positions. These days, one of Grinder's principle collaborators is Carmen Bostic St Clair.

Also a student at the university, Robert Dilts was one of the first people to get involved with Bandler and Grinder, and has been one of its most vigorous innovators, generating an enormous number of change patterns and models, and adding considerably to the published information on the subject.

As we move forward in the twenty-first century, NLP continues to evolve, with new models and techniques being added every year by
