"using NLP skills, was the brainchild of three independent people; Fritz Erikson, a Gestalt therapist, Virginia Satir, a family therapist, and Erick Erickson, a hypnotist. "
Ummm....I think Richard Bandler and John Grinder(sp?) would disagree with that. They took what Fritz Perle, Milton Erickson, and Virginia Satir were doing, found out "the system" they used and broke it down into component parts. Fascinating stuff really, the study of subjective human experience.
In fact Bandler says he came up the name "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" after getting pulled over by a cop, and was asked what he did for a living.
