Description

This is supposed to be the transcript of the Bandler Marshall University videos could say that this is a book in six chapters, plus an introduction and one appendix – the former is taken of an interview with Bandler in 1990, the latter covers the NLP “Milton Model” in some depth.Excited?You would be if you knew what is in those six chapters!According to the back cover blurb (taken from the Introduction):”*Magic in Action* shows the ways in which I use humour and speed to work with clients. It gives the layman an idea of what an NLP session should be like.”Basically this is a set of trancescripts (pun intended) of Richard Bandler doing brief therapy the NLP way. They cover topics such as a rather unusual form of agoraphobia, fear of authority figures, weight loss, changing limiting beliefs, etc.More than that, however, they show Bandler using many of the core NLP techniques to facilitate lasting changes, typically in less than 30 minutes.An additional feature of the first three sessions is that they are taken from a project at Marshall University, West Virginia, and in two cases include a brief follow-up interview that took place about 8 months after the therapy session.(Only two, because in one case Richard and his client went straight out and demonstrated that the client’s agoraphobia had already completely disappeared.)As the previous reviewer has said, this is a book that will bear, indeed requires, several readings to get the most out of it. Bandler himself (or was it the unnamed editor?) recommends that, after having read the whole book, you start again, annotating each transcript in the same way that the final chapter has already been analysed, to better understand how Bandler has used various linguistic patterns to achieve his results.Seems like a pretty good idea to me.The book gives some interesting insights into the attitude, motivation and practice of the originator of NLP. At the same time, though Bandler certainly isn’t prepared to spoonfeed his readers, it is as good a teaching tool as any book could ever be.If you’re serious about NLP, this book is a definite ‘must read’.Videos uploaded by Evoutionz.
