They started out by modeling results achieved by excellent communicators and therapists, including the hypnotherapist, Milton Erikson, the Gestalt therapist, Fritz Perls and the family therapist, Virginia Satir. Since the 1970’s many others have contributed to this field and NLP continues to grow and develop over thirty years on. <Back to top> If you have any other questions, please contact us.
