Review: Six Blind Elephants, by Steve Andreas

Book review by: Rich Liotta, Ph.D.

Six Blind Elephants, volumes one and two, by Steve Andreas (2006) is a very worthwhile read. These books are about “scope” and “category” – and how we experience and understand ourselves, others, and our worlds. For therapists or other change agents, understanding “scope” and “category” opens up new possibilities for helping people change…..The Six Blind Elephants volumes demonstrate that Andreas continues to be one of the foremost thinkers advancing the development of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). In my estimation these volumes will have a long term impact on future direction of NLP. Indeed the concepts here can be explanatory in understanding how NLP and other therapeutic processes work. As essentially any change in emotion, response, cognition, and behavior can be examined as scope and category shifts. . . Go to the full review.
