Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a psychological approach developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder that examines the connections between neurological processes, language, and learned behavioral patterns, claiming they can be modified to achieve specific goals. It's used by some coaches, therapists, and salespeople for techniques in communication, persuasion, and personal development, though its scientific validity is widely disputed by psychologists. It remains popular in certain self-help and business training contexts.
