Excellent book about Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy. This book discusses the ways that neurolinguistics is used as a psychotherapeutic technique. The author goes into incredible detail about NLP as a field, what its theories are, what theories/techniques they're based on, etc. The one complaint I have is that her entire "postmodern" argument is that NLP is constructivist in nature and doesn't really talk about any other facet of postmodernism, e.g. the way that subjectification a la Foucault is an explanatory mechanism for the creation of cultural/subculturally based metaprograms.
If you're interested in NLP in any kind of academic or scientific way, you *must* read this book.
