Robert Dilts has been a developer, author, trainer and consultant in the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) - a model of human behaviour, learning and communication - since its creation in 1975 by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. A long time student and colleague of both Grinder and Bandler, Robert also studied personally with Milton H. Erickson, M.D., and Gregory Bateson.
As reviewed by Judith Lowe: A much earlier book by Robert Dilts, and one of my personal favourites, is the third in the 'Strategies of Genius' series in which he uses the tools of NLP to analyse the work and writing of Freud. Reflecting on Freudian constructs like 'transference', 'hysteria', 'neurosis', etc from an NLP perspective, he uses classic NLP change models like the 'meta-model', 'change personal history', 're-imprinting', 'resolving conflicting beliefs' and more, to enrich the descriptions of both Freud and NLP, and to build meaningful connections between them. If you're interested in Freud's 'talking cure', in the deeper structure of NLP and modern psychotherapeutic methods in general, then you'll enjoy this volume immensely - and also get some insight into Robert's own fascinating meta-modelling project; to make explicit the cognitive patterns of some of the world's great geniuses. There are also shorter chapters on Leonardo, with a strategy for seeing and drawing, and one on Tesla with a strategy for visualising the future. There's even a short piece of Dilts on Freud, on Leonardo, and on Michelangelo - an absolute treat!
