Neuro-linguistic programming(NLP)
Overview: -
As a quasi-spiritual change therapy, NLP participants are taught that life is programmed, and that we have all been mis-programmed by negative input. Like Scientology, rebirthing and other alternative therapies, NLP embraces the classic New Age concept of clearing these blocks. While the more traditional therapies concentrate on solving problems by focusing on the reasons 'why', Neurolinguistic programming looks at the 'hows' to provide a quick fix to a solution.

NLP and Theory: -
Many NLP proponents state that NLP is not theory-oriented, and Bandler states that he does not "do theory". Instead, the stated goals of NLP are to model effective patterns "in the field", to learn what someone is actually doing in practice (internally and externally) that works, and how they do it, rather than deriving behaviors from a theory or obtaining their motivations for doing them. However, NLP proponents do make hypotheses and propose armchair theories. For example, NLP assumes that all human behaviour is neurological, and all human behaviour is based on the 5 senses, rather than attitudes, reason, emotions, mind, morals or ego

NLP Modeling: -
NLP Modeling is a method that is promoted for duplicating behaviour, expertise or excellence, or reproducing "magic" abilites of experts. It is considered by some practitioners to be at the heart of NLP. It can be thought of as the process of discovering relevant distinctions within these experiential components, as well as sequencing these components, aiming to achieve a specific result. NLP proponents claim that it is used to discover and codify patterns of excellence as demonstrated consistently by top performers in any field. It has also been applied to clinical conditions, such as the "skill" of schizophrenia and notable dead people of whom we have only writings, such as Jesus of Nazareth.It has been argued that modeling from writings is unverifiable (both within and outside NLP).
