Terms of Use

These pages are a knowledge base. They explain ideas from NLP practitioner literature. They are not a substitute for professional advice, and they are not a course.

NLP Knowledge Base Editorial · Reviewed 21 September 2026

By using this site you agree to read it as a public reference, not as personal advice and not as a contract for training.

What these pages are

The NLP Knowledge Base publishes explanations of Neuro-Linguistic Programming: concepts, models, techniques, applications, history and evidence. Pages distinguish practitioner descriptions from empirical claims. That is an editorial method, described on Editorial principles.

What these pages are not

  • medical, psychological or legal advice
  • a diagnosis, treatment plan or therapy
  • a professional licence or a certificate
  • a training catalogue, timetable or enrolment form
  • a guarantee that a technique will produce a result

If you need clinical or legal help, use a qualified professional in your jurisdiction. A glossary entry is not that.

Accuracy

Content is written and reviewed by NLP Knowledge Base Editorial. It can be incomplete, disputed, or later revised. Historical NLP texts are cited as context for the field, not as proof of later popular claims. See Sources and Evidence and criticism.

Intellectual property

Unless a page says otherwise, the text and original presentation of this knowledge base are provided for reading on this site. Do not copy substantial portions as if they were your own publication. Short quotation for comment or study is a different matter from reproducing a page.

Other sites

Some pages include links to other organisations’ published material. Those sites have their own terms.

Changes

These terms can be updated when the site’s operation changes. The date on this page is the last editorial review.
