理查·班德勒是NLP（神經(jīng)語言程序?qū)W）的創(chuàng)始人之一，世界NLP領(lǐng)域的最高權(quán)威，也是著名的催眠大師。

NLP首創(chuàng)于本世紀(jì)七十年代早期。當(dāng)時(shí)語言學(xué)家約翰·葛林德（John Grinder）和身兼數(shù)學(xué)家、心理治療師和電腦專家的理查·班德勒（Richard Bandler）二人，研究了以下三位能夠持續(xù)創(chuàng)造人類行為杰出改變的頂尖大師所用的方法：密爾頓·艾瑞克森（Dr. Milton H. Erickson）博士，有史以來最偉大的催眠治療師；維琴尼亞·薩提

亞（Virginia Satir），杰出的家族治療師，她解決人際關(guān)系問題的能力，似乎是無人能及的；格利葛利·拜特森（Gregory Bateson），英國的人類學(xué)家，他除了本身就是成就的楷模外，還對葛林德和班德勒這兩位NLP創(chuàng)造者的早期作品有極大的影響。

葛林德和班德勒將研究的成果發(fā)展為一門攸關(guān)人生成敗至巨的學(xué)科——NLP，現(xiàn)已被廣泛應(yīng)用于工商業(yè)、營銷、政府、運(yùn)動員及個(gè)人發(fā)展等領(lǐng)域，在全球各地吸引著為數(shù)眾多的追隨者，而且數(shù)量日增。

隨著NLP的應(yīng)用擴(kuò)展到越來越多的人生領(lǐng)域，它的影響也就越發(fā)深遠(yuǎn)。它簡單但深?yuàn)W的觀念以及在實(shí)務(wù)上成功的紀(jì)錄，給它帶來可觀的成長。今天，NLP正在挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)心理學(xué)的地位，同時(shí)也使許多自我發(fā)展和積極思想之類的書籍顯得非常的不完整且又過時(shí)。

世界最著名的潛能專家安東尼·羅賓斯，開始時(shí)也是修讀NLP，然后從中發(fā)展出他具有個(gè)人風(fēng)格的課程。現(xiàn)今他是世界上收入最高的培訓(xùn)導(dǎo)師。目前國內(nèi)著名的講師 尚致勝，就是班德勒的弟子。

Richard Wayne Bandler (born February 24, 1950) is an American author on personal development.

Richard Bandler is a co-founder with John Grinder of the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. A student of mathematics, Richard began studying the work of Gestalt therapy founder Fritz Perls when he was asked to edit transcripts of Perls’ lectures and workshops for the book Eyewitness To Therapy (1973) for Science and Behavior Books. He also began to work with family therapist Virginia Satir at this time.

Richard met John Grinder, a linguistics professor, as a student at the University of California at Santa Cruz. In 1974 Bandler and Grinder began to make a model of the language patterns used by Perls, Satir and Hypnotherapist Milton H. Erickson, which they published in their books The Structure of Magic Volumes I & II (1975, 1976), Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, Volumes I & II (1975, 1977) and Changing With Families (1976). These books formed the foundation of the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Richard is an author and co-author of numerous other books on NLP and its applications, including Frogs Into Princes (1979), NLP Volume I (1980), Tranceformations (1981), Reframing (1982), Using Your Brain (1985), An Insider’s Guide to Sub-Modalities (1988), The Adventures of Anybody (1993), Time For a Change (1993) and Persuasion Engineering(1996).

Much of Richard’s later work in NLP has focused on applications of submodalities, the subtle distinctions one can make in one’s sensory experience and internal representations. His background as a musician and his interest in sound theory and the neurological impact of sound lead him to develop the area of Neuro-Sonics, which utilizes qualities of music and sound to create specific internal states. Richard is also the founder of the model and techniques of Design Human Engineering (DHE).

In addition to his creative genius, Richard is known for his sense of humor, his ability to use sophisticated language patterns, and his dynamic training style.
