New Books for the PWS:  
 

Mastering Blocking & Stuttering: A Cognitive Approach to  Achieving Fluency by Bob Bodenhamer - Bob Bodenhamer explains that blocking results from the thinking (cognition) of the stuttering as he or she associates speaking with a lot of fear and anxiety about stuttering. Most blocking is no more than a panic attack expressed in the muscles that control breathing and speaking. This book both explains the structure of blocking and provides the tools for gaining more fluency.

Letters to a Desperate Stutter by Linda Rounds

This is an e-book that you can purchase online and downloaded. It is a "must read" for in this work Linda shares her several year journey to fluency.

   

REDEFINING STUTTERING: What the struggle to speak is really all about by John Harrison. John is a former PWS, lived through the fear of stuttering, conquered the problem, and even wrote a 485-page book about it that’s available on line at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and as a free PDF download - click the title for a link to the free download.

Recommended Neuro-Science Books - I have found great inspiration from reading in the relatively new field called Neuro-Science. Hopefully, in forthcoming books, I  hope to show how the Neuro-Sciences lend much credibility to the model for treating stuttering that we present in Neuro-Semantics. I have been using some quotes in some recent posts (11/20/2009) on our email list. From that list I have received a request to present a Bibliography on Neuro-Science as found here.

    These books are two extensive manuals for a whole education in NLP, i.e. a method to improve communication abilities and personal development. Volume 1 corresponds the contents of a "practitioner" the basic level and volume 2 a "master practitioner", the continuation level. Both books are very detailed, very well written and are good guides and reference books. For the leader of a course in NLP this may be an invaluable resource, and not least a source for inspiration. For the participant in an NLP course they can be very valuable as reference books.

MovieMind - Your mind is like a Movie ... on your internal Big Screen you flash snapshots of sights, images, and scenarios and you also play snippets of Movie sequences and even full-length epic features. You do it all in that private entertainment center we call “Mind.” This is how we think and learn and even reason. Some people are more visual learners, others learn best by hearing, others learn best by doing to get a feel of things, and yet others are primarily linguistic learners.
What happens though when we close our eyes or just de-focus them and “think” about things? What Movies play out on the theater of our mind?
  • Horror movies, sex, adventure, sci-fi flicks, love and romance ones, documentaries, news reels, drama, soap operas, commercials, police and detective cinemas, cowboy.

The range of Movies we can play on the screen of our minds goes on and on. Yet whatever plays governs our states, emotions, feelings, behaviors, skills, world-views, perceptions, health, and life. It determines what’s on our mind. Yet the higher levels determine more important things—like why we watch what we do. We can even step back from the Movies that we play to take control of the productions, editing them, directing them, and even producing them. After all, it’s our brain. It’s the theater of your mind.

Figuring Out People: Design Engineering With Meta-Programs (2006). Hall & Bodenhamer. This is the new 3rd Edition. Figuring Out People focuses on not what people "are" but "how" they function. By understanding "how" people function, this work teaches you how to change your behavior so you can communicate more effectively. The most extensive book in print on NLP Meta-Programs.
  • Can people be “figured out?”
  • If so, how? How do we figure out people?
  • Why do people think, feel, talk, and act the way they do?

Meta-Programs is a meta-domain of NLP which addresses human perceptual filters. Recognizing and matching how a person processes information, what he or she sorts for, enables us to more effectively communicate, relate, motivate, etc.

Meta-Programs arise from meta-states. We now know that these sorting distinctions arise as meta-states coalesce from mind into body. Meta-Programs then are former meta-states that have moved from mind into muscle to become our perceptual frames, the very way we “see” the world gives us one way to think about the structure of personality, that is, how we behavior.

Figuring Out People is an entire book on Meta-Programs. Here you have at your finger tips the most exhaustive and cutting-edge work in the field of the NLP Meta-Programs. It is like an encyclopedia of 51 of the key ways that we sort information. This is an essential tool for anyone who works with people, wants to diagnose how a person is functioning, etc.

Discover How—

  • Meta-programs operate as our human software operating systems that run our brains at meta-levels.
  • These governing programs determine how we think-emote and respond.
  • New insights from Cognitive and Perceptual Psychology lead to new patterns.
  • To identify and work with the meta-programs as you work with people in business, therapy, coaching, etc.
  • Meta-Programs work and where they come from.
  • How to sort out the 51 meta-programs listed here into five larger categories.
  • To use meta-programs for design engineering in communication, decision-making, relating, etc.

Communication Magic: Exploring the Structure And Meaning of Language (2001) Communication Magic replaces and updates The Secrets of Magic (1998) by L. Michael Hall. Crown House Pub. Paperback, 333 pages. “Presented in an easy, flowing and in a very readable style, this book brings the Meta-model right up to date and expands it considerably from its original beginnings. Nobody who uses NLP in any of its forms can afford not to read this book. “

The seeming “magic” of what some people can do with their mind, emotions, words, and behaviors has a structure. That was the astonishing contribution that Bandler and Grinder offered in 1975 with their first two books that initiated the field of NLP. In The Structure of Magic Vol. I & II, they showed that the magic was in the structure of the experience and that it was “rule-governed” and therefore could be replicated.

And with that NLP began. Looking closely at the structure of how three therapeutic experts (Satir, Perls, and Erickson) performed therapeutic “magic” gave us the Meta-Model, a model of how language works in neurology to effect the construction of reality and therefore transformation.

Now, after 25 years, The Secrets of Magic updates the original work of Bandler and Grinder and looks at the Meta-Model afresh. This is a book about how language works in the human body (neurology) and mind (linguistics) to create the marvelous effects that it does (our programming). It adds 9 new distinctions to the model from General Semantics and Cognitive Psychology. It presents the Mind-Lines model as a way to use the Meta-Model conversationally to reframe meaning.
”The most compelling book on NLP I’ve ever read.” “This update on the Meta-Model will update all of the previous books, making them obsolete. I consider this an absolutely essential book for anyone serious about NLP.”

Communication Magic – revised and substantially expanded takes the Meta-Model to new levels of significance. In the development of the Meta-Model which lies at the heart of NLP, Dr. Hall demonstrates how your life can be dramatically enriched by having complete control over how you communicate using language. In a clear and logical manner, he examines how language affects the mind-body system, how language can perform magic-like feats in the nervous system, and how this magic can empower us to take charge of our own lives.

Adventures with Time Lines (1998). Bodenhamer & Hall. New work in Time-lines.  Discover how to use the idea of “time” and the NLP technology of Time-Lines. This is the first, and only, book published in the field of NLP on Time-Lines since the original 1988 Time-Line Therapy by Woodsmall and James.

This newest work introduces many new Time-Lining patterns and processes, it integrates many valuable contributions of General Semantics to the NLP model, and it explores “time” from other perspectives than just using the metaphor of a “line.” It looks at “time as a nominalization of a nominalization (a multiordinal term) and so introduces 16 different kinds of “time.”

“This book is a must for anyone who wants to stay current in the field, and especially for those who work with time and Time-Lines.”

Patterns for Renewing the Mind: Christian Communicating & Counseling Using NLP (1996). Bodenhamer & Hall.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." (Romans 12:2)

We know that Christian transformation arises from the cognitive-emotional alteration of "mind."

  • Yet how do we pull it off?

  • How does the "mind" work?

  • What processes inform us about assisting someone else in altering their mind-set?

In Patterns for "Renewing the Mind" Bodenhamer, D.Min. and Hall, Ph.D., take the cutting-edge model of NLP and show how this model about communication and human functioning correlates with the biblical text and fits with the presuppositions in the Judeo-Christian worldview. They show how this model provides very powerful change techniques for Christian counseling, teaching, and preaching.

Discover —

  • The first Christian application of the basic NLP mode l for Counselors and Pastors.

  • Excellent resource for any pastor, counselor, or Christian who want to understand NLP from the Judeo-Christian perspective.

  • Clear definitions of NLP, extensive correlations to scriptures, numerous patterns for communicating, connecting with people, reframing meanings, transforming negative emotions, and much more.

  Coaching Conversations  by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. and Michelle Duval, Master Coach.  Neuro-Semantic Publications, 2004.  Click here to view the cover of Coaching Conversations plus further order information.

The coaching revolution has exploded and is now recognized as the newest methodology for translating knowledge, principles, and information into actual practical skills to create a measurable difference. With this revolution, coaches, managers, supervisors, trainers, and CEOs need some practical tools for this field. Coaching Conversations provides just that. Coaching has proven to be a reliable tool for men and women at the top of their fields to take their competence and expertise to the next level of mastery.

Rather than repeat material that’s in most coaching books, Coaching Conversations offers new and cutting-edge tools from NLP, Cognitive-Behavioral psychology, and Neuro-Semantics. It offers specific information about conversation as an agent or tool for change.

Coaching Conversations also gives an insider’s view of the coaching experience. Unlike every book about coaching, this book invites the reader to over-hear the conversation and to get an up-close and person a front row view of the experience. For the curious reader who wants to understand what’s so exciting about coaching, Coaching Conversations provides debriefs and meta-analysis of the process. Coaching Conversations answers the question, “What is the whole coaching thing about?” by giving the reader a peek into a dozen kinds of coaching conversations. Coaching Conversations is the first coaching book to provide actual transcripts of coaching conversations that invite a reader into the experience and provide descriptions about what’s going on in the process for easy replication in numerous contexts. It demystifies the elitism of coaching as both a movement and as a specialized technology and makes its powerful methodologies accessible to anyone who wants to use it professionally and personally. This book offers a quality exploration into a wide variety of coaching conversations: Outcome, Resource, Matrix, Possibility, Fierce, Narrative, Time-Line, Neuro-Logical Levels, Hero Journey, Metaphorical, etc. This gives the professional coach, the new coach, the manager, leader, or individual a wide variety of choices.

Coaching Conversations goes beyond the Change Models that have been around for the past 30 and 40 years as it presents a brand new cutting-edge cognitive-behavioral Change Model, the Axes of Change. Doing this means this book presents the coaching conversation as a dance and analyzes the actual conversations in terms of the dance steps. The reader is then taken through the dance, step-by-step, to coaching mastery.

    The Spirit of NLP: The Art, Practice & Meaning for Mastering NLP (1996, 2000). The Spirit of NLP presents NLP at the master practitioner level. Ideal for those who wish to update and expand their understanding of NLP and particularly those about to embark on master level training.

    “A brilliant and outstanding contribution of new ideas in the domain of NLP—mastering its spirit (attitude) and methodology.”

    • What lies at the very heart and spirit of NLP?
    • What is the attitude that created NLP in the first place?
    • What kind of spirit does a person need in order to really do NLP effectively?

    You’ll discover the answer to these questions in this book that reflects how co-founder Richard Bandler conducted “Master practitioner” Trainings in the late 1980s. Written from the notes that L. Michael Hall took at the time, this book describes the trance-induction of a propulsion system that Bandler thought important in sharing the spirit that enabled him and John Grinder to create NLP in the first place.

    • What makes for Mastery in NLP?
    • How does one become a Master at the skills?
    • How does one develop the “Go for It!” Passionate Attitude that can not only make NLP work, but generate new patterns?

    The Spirit of NLP records many of the presentations from a Master Practitioner training and describes what a master practitioner has to know. The book contains chapters on Trance, the Meta-Model, the “Sleight of Mouth” Patterns, Reading Submodalities on the Outside, Meta-Programs, and much more.

    Sub-modalities Going Meta: Cinematic frames for Semantic Magic formerly known as The Structure of Excellence (1999, 2005) Hall with Bodenhamer. Sub-modalities Going Meta unmasks the meta-levels within the so-called "submodalities," and in the end reveals the Secrets of Submodalities as actually meta-level distinctions Foreword by NLP Co-Developer, Robert B. Dilts relates this to Aristotle's "common sensibilities" as described in his series, The Strategies of Genius.  Using the Meta-States Model and principles from Neuro-Semantics, Sub-modalities Going Meta refines the NLP Model, presents 6 new Meta-Level sub-models including the Meta-Yesing pattern, Negating, Meta-Detailing, etc.  If you want to know the current state-of-the-art development in submodalities-- this book is a must. 

    Robert Dilts states of this work,

    "Michael and Bob have done NLP a great service by refocusing on its theoretical roots in the work of Bateson and Korzybski, and by re-placing its attention on the important and seminal notion of the ability to go meta. I am grateful to both of them for having brought so much insight about the nature of excellence, genius and wisdom into a single volume."

    Hall & Bodenhamer (355 pages). In this work you learn how to directionalize consciousness (whether yours or someone else's) in one of seven directions-- 7 framing structures. As an in depth look at "the structure of meaning," Mind-Lines puts into your hands the technology of NLP and Neuro-Semantics by looking at how we "frame" or construct our understandings of the world.   When these don't work very well and create limitations, we can now reframe them conversationally. Mind-Lines restructures the old conglomeration of the linguistic patterns that have been known as the "Sleight of Mouth" patterns.  It does so by providing a logical level structure that makes learning and using the patterns easier and simpler.  In the end, you will discover that when you create powerful and life-transforming Mind-Lines you are actually using Meta-States and so meta-stating yourself or another into a much more empowering state. 

     With these six framing structures you will learn 26 "Mind-Line" reframes (our term for NLP Sleight-of-Mouth Patterns) for effectively "transforming meaning." Foreword by Joseph O'Connor co-author of Introducing NLP who says of this work, "As you read this book, some of the power of language will become yours to command... You create whole new worlds every time you read a novel, and you will create meaning as you read this book." ($25.00 Plus $10 S& H in USA.)

    Hypnotic Language: Its Structure and Use (2000 Crown House Publishers, Hardback, 293 Pages). We each shape our own reality. Perceptions and cognitive processes unique to each of us determine our individual perspective on the world, and we present to ourselves what we are programmed to see. But what if we could change our perceptions and cognitive processes – and consequently our reality?

    One way of achieving this is by harnessing the power of hypnotic language. This remarkable book examines the structures of the hypnotic sentence, and the very cognitive dimensions that allow hypnotic language to be effective in changing our minds. Defining the three facets that allow the mind to be susceptible to hypnotic language patterns, Hypnotic Language puts these insights into practice in case examples that demonstrate the application and effect of hypnotic language. Teaching us how to create the most effective hypnotic scripts, it provides new language patterns that address beliefs, time orientation, perception, spiritual matters and states of mind, and devises new hypnotic language applications that emphasize the importance of Gestalt principles and cognitive factors.

    An invaluable resource for hypnotherapists, psychologists, NLP practitioners and counselors, Hypnotic Language promotes a new and deeper understanding of hypnotic language, clearly defining the divide between the conscious and unconscious mind – and those language paths that link the two. Providing a wealth of scripts for hypnotic trance, it presents innovative and original ways to induce cognitive change that enable you to access your unconscious mind – and the infinite resources it holds.

    "The insights into the structure and uses of hypnotic language will make this book an invaluable reference for cognitive psychologists, counsellors and NLP practitioners, but it is to the hypnotherapist that the book is most indispensable - exploring, as it does, the dynamics of hypnotic language, and how to exploit these features in creating more effective hypnotic language patterns."  Peter Mabbut, Director of Studies, London College of Clinical Hypnosis.

    Winning the Inner Game: Mastering the Inner Game for Peak Performance by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. (2007, Neuro-Semantics Publications, Paperback, 329 pages)  [Formerly Frame Games]

    Discover how it operates and how to successfully play it and you’ll have the outer game of peak performance in the palm of your hand. Fail to do that and you’ll keep buying more self-development books trying to understand the Game of Life and how to succeed in all of its dimensions, yet missing the leverage point.

    Winning the Inner Game opens up a whole new dimension of life.

    It opens up all of multiple layers of frames that make up our belief systems and reveal the Matrix. And, it is in the construct of the Matrix that we create the inner game, its rules, and governing frames of life. Experiencing these dimensions of mind and emotion, time and space, meaning and performance will enable you to master your Matrix.

    Winning the Inner Game is like taking the Red Pill, escaping your current Matrix, and then re-entering the Matrix of your frames to change it from the inside.

    Because our inner and the outer games are our construct of frames, to win at these frame games you only need to discover the games, develop framing skills, learn to change them, and alter the rules. Then you’ll win at the games that you want to play. Winning the Inner Game will forever change the way you look yourself, others, work, the world, and your future.

    Six years after the Meta-States revolution began, Frame Games appeared as a user-friendly version of Meta-States. Frame Games simplifies many of the complexities in the cognitive behavioral sciences as it addresses the structure of meaning that form the games we play. Yet it goes further. It describes the games that we get to play when we know how to control the higher levels of our mind.

They make up a valuable part of you, but you are more them what you feel. And, feelings can misguide you.

    Games Business Experts Play (2002) by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. This book’s unique perspective
    is that it looks at business from the standpoint of a Game.

    Because that’s what we do, as inveterate Game players, we play verbal, behavioral, and mental Games In every facet of life. This is especially true for the context of Business.

    These Games spring from the Frames we set (our frames-of reference, frames of mind). In business, we enter into Games already underway and then learn to play such Games. Some of the Frame Games empower us to use our mental and emotional powers efficiently, other frame games undermine us, sabotage our effectiveness, and poison our state of mind. To response, we need to first recognize such games, then develop the power to refuse the toxic ones, and then step up to play the more enhancing ones.

    • Experts are those who excel at the Games that they play. They attain excellence because of the Game they play, how they play, then frame of mind that governs their playing, etc. Modeling their Games enables us to replicate their expertise.

This book offers practical descriptions of how business experts play Winning Games.

    • Game Detection Skills. Discover the art of how to detect Frame Games and to operate more mindfully in what we do.
    • Transformation Secrets. Learn how Games recruit us, how to refuse them, how to invite others to play healthier Games, etc. Discover the secrets for managing change.

    • Game Analysis. Discover an analysis process for checking out the Games that others seek to recruit us to and which we may unknowingly fall into playing.

    Meta-States Advanced Books:


    Meta-States: Mastering the Higher Levels of Your Mind Third Edition (2008, Hardback). From the original version to this new edition of Meta-States we have completely revised and updated the original book that launched the third meta-domain of NLP and created the field of Neuro-Semantics. This book is more academically oriented as it presents Meta-States as a Model. And, as a cognitive-behavioral model, Meta-States describes how our mental and emotion states work and how our mind/body "states" show up in our everyday experiences. Meta-States works with a the most unique feature of human consciousness—self-reflexive consciousness and models how this feedback process involving our meta-jumping thoughts and feelings continually generate states-about-states, or meta-states.

    Discover How —

  • Meta-States takes NLP to the next level by tracking the meta-level jumps in the feedback loops.
  • Primary states and a meta-states differ.
  • Mind reflects back onto itself to create the higher matrix of frames and frames embedded within frames.
  • Other "logical levels" that govern our experiences as a meta-class of life.
  • Your neuro-semantic states creates the Matrix of your Mind.
  • To engage in meta-stating processes to create richer textures in your everyday experiences and to model the more complex states.
  • Meta-States offers a unified field theory for NLP and leads to advanced modeling.
  • Meta-Levels leads to new advances in modeling excellence.
  • With Meta-States, the magic of NLP continues.

    Discover afresh in the book that took NLP to the next step and launched the field of Neuro-Semantics as you read this fully revised version and let Dr. Hall introduce you to the Meta-States Model which continues and expands the magic of NLP.

    "In Meta-States, a seemingly complex theory actually provides simple techniques for producing effective results. The model gives one the processes of the for increasing personal effectiveness."

    NLP: Going Meta - Advanced Modeling Using Meta-Levels
    (1997-2000,Neuro-Semantics Publications, Paperback, 394 pages) - The field of NLP began as an adventure in modeling experts. The originators asked, "How do the experts communicate, relate, and map the world?" When they then modeled three therapeutic wizards, the adventure began. As an expression of the Cognitive Psychology movement in the last half of the 20th century, NLP began as an exploration into the very structure of experience.

    NLP: Going Meta offers the next step in modeling. This work provides a crucial piece to the NLP Model, the mechanism and magic that comes from the reflexivity of human consciousness. Here you will discover how the higher levels of mind (the "logical levels") play a role in modeling the structure of experience. In this book, Dr. Hall invites you to transcend the primary states of mere representational steps and rise up to a meta-level of awareness to map out the higher and more complex frames of mind, the meta-states. Here you will learn how to factor these higher levels in.

    In NLP: Going Meta you will explore the genius of Korzybski, Bateson, and Dilts on the idea of levels and frames that serves as the foundation of Meta-States and Neuro-Semantics.

    The Structure of Personality: Modeling "Personality" Using NLP and Neuro-Semantics
    by L. Michael Hall, Ph.D., Bob Bodenhamer, D.Min, Dr. Richard Bolstad and Margot Hamblett. (2001, Crown House Publishers, Hardback, 474 pages). In this book you will discover that there is no such "thing" as "Personality."  The key word is "thing."  "Personality" is not a thing, but a process.  It's a way of using one's personal powers of thought, emotion, memory, imagination, speech and behavior.  "Personality" is what we DO rather than what we ARE.

    Starting from this basic NLP presupposition, the authors have completely denominalized the idea of "personality" so as to create a much more open and responsive model for handling what the medical and psychological communities have nominalized, "Personality Problems."  Instead of speaking about "Personality Disorders," they speak about personality "disordering."  By returning the language to verbs, the authors then show how that we have three meta-domains as avenues into understanding and transforming "personality."

    These are the three meta-domains of NLP: the Meta-Model, Meta-Programs, and Meta-States.  Looking at "personality" with these models enables us to recognize "personality" structures and problems using language (Meta-Model), perceptual filters (Meta-Programs) and states, meta-states, and logical levels (Meta-States).  The book presents these three domains and shows the careful reader how to use them to reorder any "personality" disordering.

    "A bold and courageous step with exciting possibilities. The authors have dismantled the diagnostic nomenclature offering new perspectives for treatment while postulating that personality is not static; not a thing, but an ongoing, evolving process and, if dysfunctional, can be restructured. The book should prove to be a milestone in our pursuit for sanity."

    Book Review of The Matrix Model by Judith Pearson, Ph.D.


    Recommended Neuro-Science Books - I have found great inspiration from reading in the relatively new field called Neuro-Science. Hopefully, in forthcoming books, I  hope to show how the Neuro-Sciences lend much credibility to the model for treating stuttering that we present in Neuro-Semantics. I have been using some quotes in some recent posts (11/20/2009) on our email list. From that list I have received a request to present a Bibliography on Neuro-Science as found here.
