The Presuppositions of NLP
Paul Tosey, Jane Mathison · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2009
Two common questions asked about NLP are, does it have any theory; and what is distinctive about it? Many NLP practitioners would probably agree with McDermott & O’Connor, that ‘the root of NLP’s individuality lies in its presuppositions’ (1996:58). 1 What are these and where did they originate? Do they indicate that NLP has any theoretical basis? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
