Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a Controversial Practice

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. Co-created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler at UC Santa Cruz in the 1970s, NLP aims to help people feel better and do better by focusing on forward thinking and action steps. However, the scientific community views NLP as complete hooey and considers it a pseudoscience. Despite its lack of credibility, NLP has made its way into the coaching world, with proponents like Tony Robbins endorsing its principles.
