Before co-founding Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with Dr. Richard Bandler, John Grinder obtained a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco and a PhD in Linguistics from the University of California in San Diego on the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. As well as obtaining his education, he also served as a captain in the Special Forces then later worked for the US Intelligence Agency.

Grinder was appointed to the position of professor of Linguistics at the newly formed University of California in Santa Cruz. He has published many books and papers, two examples of which are On Deletion Phenomena in English (1972) and Guide to Transformational Grammar (1973). He is considered to be an expert on the subject of syntax within the broader field of linguistics.

After being invited to participate in therapy groups with psychology student Richard Bandler, John became aware of linguistic patterns used by the therapists. John went on to co-found Neuro Linguistic Programming with Bandler.

Neuro Linguistic Programming was largely based on the language patterns used effectively by the hypnotherapist Milton H. Erickson and therapists Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls and the theory of transformation grammar. Based on this John Grinder and Richard Bandler came up with the model of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

John has also co-written many other pieces about the theoretical basis and practical uses of NLP. This was after developing the model of Neuro Linguistic Programming further, partly based on the publications of the therapists above.

All over the world, many people have become more self-confident as a result of studying the techniques involved in Neuro Linguistic Programming. This has allowed them to become more successful both in their professional endeavors and their personal lives.
