Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming

Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming

The Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ANLP) is a UK organisation founded in 1985 by Frank Kevlin[1] to promote NLP. Associate Membership is open to anyone interested in NLP and Full Membership is open to holders of recognized NLP qualifications.

The ANLP publishes Rapport magazine quarterly, which is available to non-members by subscription, and has published[2] the proceedings of a NLP Research Conference held at the University of Surrey, UK in 2008. A second conference was held at Cardiff University in 2010[3] and a third is planned at the University of Hertfordshire in 2012.

ANLP were awarded Small Business of the Year in the Hertfordshire Business Awards 2009.[4]

It was a member organisation [5] of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) to 2002 when the role was taken over by its daughter organization[6], the Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (NLPtCA)[7][8]. The NLPtCA is a founder member of the European Association for Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy[9], a European wide accrediting organisation (EWAO) for NLPt within the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP)[10].

Controversy

In addition to neuro-linguistic programming itself being perceived as controversial, there has been criticism of the ANLP’s code of ethics. Roderique Davies (2009) quotes the following disclaimer from the code of ethics:

"The Code does not assume that individual Members possess particular levels of skill in any specific area; it is important, therefore, that users of Members’ services do satisfy themselves that the person they are working with is appropriately skilled."

Roderique Davies (2009) states “To put the onus of responsibility onto the individual seeking the service is scandalous. What basis do they have to satisfy themselves that an individual is qualified in the face of impressive sounding claims and ‘qualifications’?”
