Richard Bandler is the unconventional co-creator of NLP. Together with John Grinder in the early 70’s, he modeled Virginia Satir – Family Therapy, Fritz Perls (father of gestalt therapy) and later Milton Erickson – Legendary Hypnotherapist and developed a model of communication known as the Meta Model.
His early background was in theoretical psychology, mathematics, computing and also sound engineering. As would be expected, this gave him a very different perspective on the world from John.
After a not too pleasant split from John Grinder, together with legal arguments over the intellectual property of NLP, he has developed Design Human Engineering(tm) and Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning(tm). Research and use of submodality patterns seems to be the dominant theme in his work.
He has been described variously as intimidating, arrogant, funny and also a dynamic genius. He is certainly a very colorful personality.
