There's a question that I've been asked many times and I wonder if you can help me with an answer. Should I have a base of psychology to really know what's going on with the people I see? In other words, how can NLP be effective if there's no foundation in psychology?
In answer to the first part, I would say experience in any field that deals with human behaviour will help enrich your work. However, if people suggest you need qualifications in psychology to practise NLP, the answer is simply this: NLP is not psychology. Richard Bandler has repeatedly said that it was designed to educate - that is, to help people learn new ways of running their own lives. Neither he nor John Grinder held qualifications in NLP. and they explicitly stated at the time that they developed their approach to compensate for the tendency of psychological schools of the time to argue about who was right, despite their failure to fix the people who came for help.The suggestion that we can only practise NLP if we hold qualifications in an entirely different field is the same as saying you can only play cricket if you obey the rules of football.
NLP can and does function as a "meta-psychology", however - a means of understanding the rules behind behaviour and behavioural change, but that is because it is a modelling tool. It can go meta to any process or skill to understand what makes it tick.
Psychology is often not as successful at changing people as many psychologists would like to believe, which is one of the reasons some of them can display such hostility. Others, on the other hand, are happy to incorporate NLP into their array of skills. This can only be a good thing.

From: āFrustratedā (Denver): I have attempted the online examination three times without success. I am an NLP practitioner and master practitioner as well as a physician, and believe I have the knowledge to achieve the required score. Could you explain what I might be doing wrong?
On reviewing your log, we note all three attempts were made within a short time of each other. Please note this is not an examination of any previous knowledge of NLP, but of āMedical NLPā, and the system presented in the book, Magic in Practice. We suggest to all participants who do not succeed at first to review the text before trying again. It is an open-book test, so we suggest you read the book a little more closely, and then take your time in answering the questions.
Good luck. GT |

Good start. Remembering the details now is the issue ā¦ I'd like to see more about the yes-butters. I feel the commonest problems for GPs are the 'mind readers', the 'fortune tellers' (always pessimistic) and the 'amateur doctors'. I am getting a Google University certificate for my wall and will ask patients what kind of qualification they think I should have. Looking forward to trying this at work. Thank you, and be reassured that remembering the details comes with practice. A Medical NLP Workbook, designed to facilitate this process, will be available soon. Meanwhile, |

From: Freek Dirkx Dear Garner,
Thank you for writing this book. It confirms and supports my ideas in a wonderful way.Ā I am a physiotherapist, NLP Trainer, Master Practioner and followed the wonderful Health Certificate Training from Robert Dilts, Tim Halbom and Suzie Smith last year. Now I work as a Health coach for people with occupational heath challenges.
One daughter of mine just turned 4 and the second one will be born in December this year. For both of them we needed an IVF treatment.Ā Ā
Now I am starting a practice in coaching couples who need an IVF treatment for fulfilling their child wish.Ā NLP structures and techniques work miracles forĀ those who need an IVF treatment.Ā The first couple will start their IVF treatment next week and they come completely prepared. They are in control, knowing what to expect and with all the right resourses available for them.Ā Itās very exiting to work with them.
Do you or one of your colleagues have experiences with coaching couples who need an IVF treatment? All ideas, tips, comments are gratefully welcome.
Thank you so much,
With regards. Yes, those trained in Medical NLP are familiar with the issues surrounding medically unexplained infertility (MUI) and IVF, and, anecdotall y,outcomes are between 72% and 80% successful, where other methods |

From David Lee (GP and Management Consultant):
Dear Garner,
Just a note to say that your book is excellent. I must say that I formed this opinion after something of a shaky start. My initial concerns were that
- My NLP training is from non "licensed" training companies and has been of and excellent standard. I do, however, hold Richard B in very high esteem.
- Early in the book you provide a critique of evidence based medicine that did not fit my model of the world. I subscribe to the view of David Sackett who described EBM as,"the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient. It means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research ā. To paraphrase this- the best evidence applied by the best doctors.
I feel that NLP skills link into the best doctor element and where evidence exists, enable us to implement best practice. I have a suspicion that were strong scientific evidence to emerge to support NLP effectiveness from RCTs we would be enthusiastic about using it. As we move towards functional MRI scanning it may be possible to understand some of the science as well as the art of NLP. Certainly UCL are actively researching hypnotherapy using a range of approaches.
Having said the above I found your book excellent, relevant to clinical work and worthy of the positive comments made about it.
Well done!
