Richard Wayne Bandler (born February 24, 1950) is an American author on modern psychological techniques. He is best known as the co-inventor (with John Grinder) of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), a collection of concepts and techniques intended to understand and change human behavior patterns. He also developed other systems known as Design Human Engineering (DHE) and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning (NHR). Note that there is another Richard Bandler who is an editor of the conference proceedings of several technical conferences on neuro-physiology.
[edit] Education and BackgroundBandler holds a BA (1973) in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC)[1] and an MA (1975) in Psychology from Lone Mountain College in San Francisco.[1] [edit] Neuro-linguistic programming
Main articles: Neuro-linguistic programming and History of NLP Neuro-linguistic programming is also called NLP. [edit] Co-founding of NLPDr Bandler is considered an important figure in the development of the modern self-improvment movement. Aparently he was once was invited by the psychiatrist Robert Spitzer, to attend, record and transcribe a teaching seminar of family therapist Virginia Satir. He was later hired to assist Spitzer edit one of gestalt therapist Fritz Perls' (who had recently died) books, The Gestalt Approach (1973) and to assist with checking transcripts for Eye Witness to Therapy (1973).[2] According to Spitzer, "[Bandler] came out of it talking and acting like Fritz Perls."[1] While Bandler was a student at University of California, Santa Cruz he also led a Gestalt therapy group. John Grinder, who became one of his students, said to Bandler that he could explain almost all of the questions and comments Bandler made using transformational grammar, the topic in linguistics that Grinder specialized in. They developed a model for therapy and called it the meta-model. It became their first book, The Structure of Magic, Volume I (1975). Bandler was Gregory Bateson's landlord, who taught at UCSC, Kresge College as did Grinder, and had moved to a community on Alba Road near the Santa Cruz mountains community of Ben Lomond. Bateson would have a profound influence on Bandler's future, he introduced Bandler and Grinder to Milton Erickson, which formed some of the foundational models for Neuro-linguistic programming.[3] In 1975 Bandler then formed his own publishing company, Meta Publications, and published Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson Volume I (1975). Bandler and Grinder went on to author The Structure of Magic Volume II (1976), Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson Volume II (1977) and Changing With Families (1976), which was co-authored with Virginia Satir herself. Richard Bandler is the most significat creator of the models and techniques that are now taught in NLP. For example, meta model, Milton model, anchoring, swish pattern, reframing, belief change, nesting loops, chaining states, and submodalities applications.[citation needed] Bandler also modeled Israeli physicist and founder of the Feldenkrais school of body work, Moshe Feldenkrais, and later published his book "The Elusive Obvious". In many of his classes, he has taught elements of this form of bodywork which he modeled.[citation needed] Since that time, Bandler's career has focused on developing and presenting NLP and related concepts as an author, publisher, public speaker, and consultant. Audiences include individuals seeking life improvements, and businesses using these concepts and techniques to improve sales. [edit] Corine Christensen CaseOn November 3, 1986, Corine Christensen, a student of Bandler's was shot dead in her townhouse. Bandler was charged with her murder, but at trial the jury acquitted Bandler in less than 30 minutes [4]. The murder is unsolved. [edit] LitigationIn July 1996 Dr Bandler filed suit against Grinder and again in January 1997 against Grinder and numerous members of the NLP community including Carmen Bostic-St. Clair and Steve and Connirae Andreas. Bandler claimed trademark infringement, intellectual property ownership of NLP, conspiratorial tortious interference and breach of settlement agreement and permanent injunction by Grinder.[1] [2] [3] By the end of 2000 some sort of rapprochement between Bandler and Grinder was achieved when the parties entered a release wherein they inter alia agreed that "they are the co-creators and co-founders of the technology of Neuro-linguistic Programming. Drs. Grinder and Bandler recognize the efforts and contributions of each other in the creation and initial development of NLP." In the same document, "Dr. John Grinder and Dr. Richard Bandler mutually agree to refrain from disparaging each other's efforts, in any fashion, concerning their respective involvement in the field of NeuroLinguistic Programming." ("Release" reproduced as Appendix A of Whispering in the Wind by Grinder and Bostic St Clair (2001)). [edit] Other worksSince the early 1980s when Grinder and Bandler stopped working together, Bandler developed several trademarked techniques he calls the fields of Design Human Engineering(tm), and Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning(tm). Bandler says that these technologies differ significantly from NLP in that they are claimed to be more direct and effective as interventions.[citation needed] Other works since that time include Using Your Brain for a Change (1985), Magic in Action (1992) Time for a Change (1995), Persuasion Engineering (1996) (co-author John LaValle) The Adventures of Anybody (1993), and Conversations (2005) (co-author Owen Fitzpatrick). Richard Bandler continues to deliver seminars in NLP, NHR and DHE throughout the world[5] . [edit] Books
