The Criticisms Of Neuro Linguistic Programming


By Ferdinand Emy

Any theory that comes to presence in this world has had to face its share of criticisms. It happened with Archimedes and Newton when their physical theories came first to actuality. But over a period of time, individuals accepted these theories with both their hands. The same kind of response had been given to neuro linguistic programming, and while the technique in itself isn't so bad, neuro linguistic programming has generated quite a good number of bad press for a good number of years now.

One of the first claims of NLP to be disputed was that its a scientifically respectable method. This claim of neuro linguistic programming did not have any scientific backing at all. It does have a rather impressive bibliography with terms like neurological levels, accessing cues, but that in no way means it may compete with legitimate disciplines like neurolinguistics or neuroscience.

NLP claims a lot, and while it claims, the lack of scientific proof to back these claims makes individuals look down on this technique suspiciously. NLP, as the technique explicate, has laid the foundation for a lot of practices that could have absolutely revolutionized the field of cognitive science and neuropsychology. Well, one thing is for sure " Successive journals and periodicals published in these domains have failed to even mention the credits of neuro linguistic programming.

At the end of the day, you would believe in the credibility of any scientific theory when its backed up with enough proof or research. In the absence of both, neuro linguistic programming suffers from an identity crisis. Though, a lot of practitioners still go with reference to their business of practicing this technique, one can moderately say that any activity related to this domain is unregulated, at best.

NLP is generally believed to be a technique that assists a lot in management training, life coaching and comprehending behavioral patterns of human beings. Since these notions are closely related to the corporate sector, you would still find a lot of demand for neuro linguistic programming amongst corporate companies. That being said, the fact still remains that By and large, neuro linguistic programming is still an unproven science for many. There are numerous questions yet unanswered with reference to this science, and until the time they're answered, the masses would find it challenging to adapt to this science.

The problem though is " the interpretation of this science is overly simple for anyone to even think of challenging or proving the science. People just get down to implementing the techniques, which may not be the correct way ahead.
