A.NLP was initially created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler a student of mathmatics and gestalt therapy and John Grinder a Professor of Liguistics at The University of California Santa Cruz. They began modeling and duplicating the "magical results" of a few top communicators and therapists.
Some of the first people they studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field.
