This book presents a series of personal articles on the founding of the therapeutic paradigm known as NeuroLinguistic Programming. The authors were all involved in its founding in Santa Cruz during the 1970s. Essays are organized into two parts, though there is no stated nor discernable theme. They consider the therapeutic antecedents and intellectual roots. There is even an NLP "love poem." Several appendices present documents ranging from testaments to NLP's efficacy to course outlines. There is no index. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
