Videos on NLP
Personality in Mental Space
Personality is partly an unconscious spatial construction in which the general representation of time, the self and humanity are the key parts. This video shows how a trained psychologist can explore personality in mental space. A demonstration of highly technical psychotherapy shows a method to change personality traits by removing the limiting beliefs that block the change.

Behavioral Modelling
By Terrence McClendon, NLP LifeSets, California USA
Research article that I wrote on behavioural modelling that original appeared in "The Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy". Since submitting this article I have been invited to submit articles and be a member of The Editorial Board of The "American Psychological Association", "The Americal Journal of Applied Psychology" and "The Technetium Social Services Journal”. What I take away from this is the article ticks all of the boxes of how to write an article for submission to peer review.
Coaching: What is Coaching? - In search of a definition
By Ueli R. Frischknecht, Switzerland
Coaching - the trendy term, is used for all kinds of consulting formats. Thus, anyone working as a coach would do well to be able to offer a professional definition of the activity.
Coaching or Psychotherapy?
Based on a work by the SICPNL societe international des coachs pnl this tool helps coaches to distinguish his/her action in regards to (psycho-)therapy. It is also part of the professional tools of a coach to recognize the indications at which a psychotherapeutic approach should be recommended. This guide highlights the boundary between NLP coaching and psychotherapy. It may also be useful for people wondering which support approach to pursue: “Should I consult a coach or a psychotherapist?”
Congruencia: una cualidad indispensable

Evaluating Students
By Melody Cheal & Reb Veale, United Kingdom
In NLP there is a vast range of evaluation methods and little to no consistency. The awarding of certifications is equally diverse. Some NLP providers undertake little or no evaluation while others have rigorous evaluation processes. The purpose of this paper is to provide a “map” detailing many of the evaluation methods currently used globally by NLP Institutes with some discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of each.
Evaluating Students
By Terrence McClendon, NLP LifeSets, California USA
Guide for student NLP Trainers. New NLP trainers can be overwhelmed with content. It can be easy to forget or overlook the key reason they are training. And that is too create competent NLP Practitioners. The assessment guide provides a format and step by step guidance of how trainers can assess their students. I find it is useful for supervision of trainers because it encourages them to give accurate and accountable feedback and builds in good habits. It is good for the trainer supervisor as well for the trainer in assessing their students.
Fomentar el asombro: una meta para la educación
by Milly Epstein, Raanana (Israel)
The article's topic is how to promote a wondering attitude as a way to improve learning in class. This article illustrates one of the basic statments of NLP, "the map is not the territory" by developing different forms to induce de-automatization in the manners we look at current phenomena in class. By connecting NLP insights with theories of creativity, I propose a way to reframe childs' questions as a part of an active, fresh learning environment.

Selbstreflexives Lernen praktizierender Supervisor:innen
by Ueli R. Frischknecht
SupervisorInnen unterstützen Menschen darin, durch Reflexion des beruflichen Handelns ihre professionellen Kompetenzen zu verbessern. Damit die Supervision von hoher Qualität ist und bleibt, müssen SupervisorInnen ihr eigenes berufliches Handeln regelmässig reflektieren. SupervisorInnen sind also bei der Ausübung ihrer Tätigkeit gehalten, sich einerseits voll auf das Anliegen des Kunden und dessen professionelle Bearbeitung einzulassen und dabei gleichzeitig ihre Haltungen und Handlungen laufend daraufhin zu beobachten, was sie selbst in ihre berufliche Reflexion einbringen möchten bzw. sollten. Dieses Buch beschreibt, wie sich praktizierende SupervisorInnen psychisch und physisch in diesem Spannungsfeld organisieren, um ihr eigenes Lernen voranzutreiben.
English: Supervisors support people in improving their professional skills by reflecting on their professional actions. This book describes how practicing supervisors organize themselves psychologically and physically in order to advance their own learning.
Sensory Representational Systems
by Brian van der Horst
At the institutes I co-founded and eventually directed in San Francisco and Paris in the ‘80s through 2006, I always taught sensory representational systems as useful lies. I never thought people were so simple as to have only five. This article lists 20 senses. Some list 53, or more. It could be argued that many of them are more submodalities than senses. My thoughts about strategies and rep systems can be found here (appeared in Anchor Point Journal, June 1994):

Taxonomies of Learning and Competence
By Ueli R. Frischknecht, Switzerland
NLP is an attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques. With a tremendous impact on 1:1 communications. But on 1:n communications (teams, groups, seminars) too! NLP Academy Switzerland has developed a taxonomy of learning and competence that focuses on Process Awareness, which is the core focus of NLP. Taxonomies of learning and competence are most valuable in assessing students progress and level of competence but in contracting coaching and trainings too.
The Origins of NLP
A great book on the first years of the development and the developers of nlp. Review by L. Michael Hall
Tres preguntas que cambiarán el futuro
by Milly Epstein, Raanan (Israel)
This article exposes the use of three basic questions aiming to stimulate exploration and curiosity in class, by expanding one of the fundamental statement of NLP "the map is not the territory". The filters through which we perceive the world "distort" our perception of the world, so that the things and what we "understand" of them is mixed up.
The following three questions help us to pay attention to the difference between our perception, our feelings and our thoughts:
• What do I see? What do I read? What do I hear? What do I touch?
• What do I feel against what I see / read / hear / touch?
• What surprises me? What awakes my curiosity?
These questions help to transform each topic in any educational environment to an invitation for adventure.

Brain Hacking Automation Tools
"Adam Goldman’s work is one of the most exciting developments in the application of NLP I’ve seen in years—and I don’t say that lightly.
Here’s why: He has taken a number of familiar patterns—phobia, swish, grief resolution, etc. and created programs that he calls “Brain Hacking Automation Tools” http://www.adamgoldman.me
People can use these online programs on their own to process a variety of common problems and outcomes, such as trauma, grief, troublesome internal dialogue, etc. No hard statistics yet, but there are already a significant number of reports of success." from Steve Andreas' NLP Blog
So people: Please test it out and let us at the IANLP know about your experience with the tool.
