The Structure of Magic II

The Structure of Magic series, comprising two volumes, delves into the principles of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Volume I focuses on language and therapy, introducing the Meta Model, a framework for understanding the structure of language.

It explores how effective therapists use specific skills to help clients by identifying and addressing the differences between 'deep structures' (the full linguistic representation of what the speaker intends to communicate) and 'surface structures' (the actual words spoken).

Volume II applies NLP theory to nonverbal communication and change.

The authors modeled their work on the practices of outstanding psychotherapists such as Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir, aiming to make the linguistic and behavioral patterns of these therapists explicit and learnable.
