Well, we’re back……. and it will probably take two or three months to fill you in on all that has happened in the intervening six months. In a nutshell, we’ve had to redesign and re-organize our structure and personnel in order to make the second stage possible. What a ride! The most important development is a new Not-for-Profit Corporation redesigned from the ground up. Our thanks to IASH for all the help in getting started.
The leadership team of the new corporation had to have representatives from University Administration, Corporate Management, Clinical Research, and NLP to accomplish our goals and interface with large Foundations. It now does. Take a look at the Overview link in the Welcome box for the complete details. The technical expertise and operating design necessary to run a large international organization comprised of a small paid core staff and thousa ...

The research and recognition project started formally with the presentation that I made at the IASH conference in San Francisco in September of 2006. Since then it has exceeded our wildest hopes and gone from a concept to a growing organization. I thought it might be good here to give a glimpse of what’s happened and what we’re going to need to keep it going.
If you review the action plan you’ll see we have accomplished Stage One and leapfrogged past funding in Stage Two to concrete developments in a number of areas such as; research grants (2.5 million dollar PTSD grant proposal); the largest online library of NLP articles (set to rollout shortly); an application to introduce some of the most serious clinical research scien ...

I’ve had a number of questions from new visitors to our website who want to know what NLP is. I thought it might be good to give a quick introduction from my perspective with the understanding that its utilization goes far beyond mental health to most forms of human learning and communication.
I first heard about NLP about 35 years ago. It was being touted by its founders as the largest advance in psychotherapy in the last hundred years and was developed, in part, by synthesizing the work of three of my favorite psychotherapists, Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir. I was teaching psychology at Cornell at the time and while professional opinion was very much skeptical of its claims. I decided to attend a training conference.
My strategy for dealing with my own questions was ...

The team has been chasing me for the last month and a half to start “Uncle Frank's blog” and place it on the website. Truth is until Jerry Beach, who has taken on the role of IT Manager, led me through two of them on line this morning, I really didn’t know what a blog was. So, unable to plead ignorance any longer, here we are. Welcome to Uncle Frank’s NLP Research and Recognition Blog.
Best to start with a little history. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, who was trained in research at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, lectured at Cornell University and built a psychiatric management business which grew to twelve hospitals. I came out of semiretirement to go down to New York after 9/11 and work with eight hundred survivors of the building from the AON Corporation. Afterwards, I found myself with a serious case of cancer losing my bladder and almost my life o ...
