Jaap Hollander, Games as a Way of Presenting NLP
NLP techniques can be presented in many different forms, of which board and card games are probably to most unusual. Starting from the somewhat startling observation that a game like the Nano Tech Power Deck (a card game version of NLP) can occasionally have a stronger beneficial impact than a live NLP professional, the essay goes on to explore how this is possible. It concludes that games can be effective because they operate in a system with live persons; they do not avoid sensitive issues; they organize complex information effectively using spatial markers; they stimulate people to construct new meaning from random information; and they use the full complexity that was built into them originally.
Nelson Zink and Joe Munshaw, Collapsing Generalizations and the Other Half of NLP
The ‘other half of NLP’, the often overlooked half, is the realm of generativeness, generalization, and creativity – a realm that is closely intertwined with inductive reasoning. This article examines the over-reliance in NLP on reductionistic thinking and paradigms through a critique of the meta model, one of NLP’s earliest and most utilized formulations. The critique is followed by an explanation of the ‘other half of NLP’, and the presentation of an induction-based technique – Collapsing Generalizations – to demonstrate how the ‘other half of NLP’ encourages creativity.

Articles

Richard Bolstad, NLP: The Quantum Leap
Traditional change models (suggesting that change is gradual, linear and consciously directed) are contradicted by both the research of Quantum physics, and the teachings of Eastern spirituality. This article views NLP within the context of Quantum physics and the writings of Jiddu Krishnamurti. It suggests 7 specific changes in approach, including the use of Krishnamurti’s technique for switching referential indices.

Talal Al Rubaie, Spatio-temporal Ingredients in NLP Therapy: a quantum cybernetic model

Michael Hall, Meta-States: a counterpart to submodalities
An article that essentially positions the meta-state model in the field of NLP. It argues that states-about-states comprise a meta-level of thoughts-feelings (hence, state) and operate as a counterpart to the domain taken up by submodalities. Thus as the sub-qualities of the modalities occur at one level down from modalities, so meta-states occur at one level above modalities. The article further suggests that any of the so-called NLP ‘failures’ may have occurred because someone attempted to use a primary procedure on a meta-level problem.
Lucas Derks and Jaap Hollander, Exploring the Spiritual Panorama
When the social panorama model (see vol 2) is applied to the spiritual realm, it enhances our understanding of spiritual experiences, experiences of spirits, religious power, and spirit possession.

Jaap Hollander, L Derks and B Tanenbaum, The Modelling of Magic

David Major, A Critical Examination of the Place of Belief in NLP
Identifying the centrality of Belief in NLP practice and in the logical levels, this article attempts to examine what NLP exponents understand belief to be. It contends that NLP is not directly concerned with the nature of belief but with its function, though the logical levels offer a way forward in determining a more comprehensive understanding of belief. The complexity of belief indicates that the beliefs we hold may not be as susceptible to change as NLP suggests, especially if those beliefs are grounded in religion or other ideology.
Michael A Kearsley, The Case for Accepting Reality: exploring aspects of mental imagery
The manipulation of mental images is an important aspect of much NLP therapeutic intervention but the validity of mental imagery as been repeatedly questioned. In this paper, based on doctoral research into sales reluctance with professional advisers, the validity of accessing and describing mental images is researched and explored. The paper questions whether the reality of mental imagery can be accepted per se and further whether the reporting nd use of supposed imagery is flawed.
