The following books examine NLP in the broader context of psychotherapy. They are crucial reading for anyone interested in advancing the science and theory of NLP or interested in integrating NLP into mainsteam psychotherapy practice.

Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy (2008) by Lisa Wake is a well researched, extensively referenced, and scholarly examination of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and the advancing model of neurolinguistic psychotherapy.  I enthusiastically recommend this book to clinicians, researchers, NLP practitioners, and anyone interested in advancing the science and theory of NLP. GO TO FULL BOOK REVIEW

I also recommend the 2002 book by Richard Bolstad, RESOLVE: A New Model of Therapy.  This book integrative and practical.  Bolstad makes connections between NLP and other models of psychotherapy.  He presents a perspective on the utility of NLP as an explanatory model, as NLP concepts are useful for explaining what therapist from many orientations do.
