标题：理查·班德勒
简介
理查·班德勒是NLP（神经语言程序学）的创始人之一，世界NLP领域的最高权威，也是著名的催眠大师。 
NLP首创于本世纪七十年代早期。当时语言学家约翰·葛林德（John Grinder）和身兼数学家、心理治疗师和电脑专家的理查·班德勒（Richard Bandler）二人，研究了以下三位能够持续创造人类行为杰出改变的顶尖大师所用的方法：密尔顿·艾瑞克森（Dr. Milton H. Erickson）博士，有史以来最伟大的催眠治疗师；维琴尼亚·萨提
  
亚（Virginia Satir），杰出的家族治疗师，她解决人际关系问题的能力，似乎是无人能及的；格利葛利·拜特森（Gregory Bateson），英国的人类学家，他除了本身就是成就的楷模外，还对葛林德和班德勒这两位NLP创造者的早期作品有极大的影响。 
葛林德和班德勒将研究的成果发展为一门攸关人生成败至巨的学科——NLP，现已被广泛应用于工商业、营销、政府、运动员及个人发展等领域，在全球各地吸引着为数众多的追随者，而且数量日增。 
随着NLP的应用扩展到越来越多的人生领域，它的影响也就越发深远。它简单但深奥的观念以及在实务上成功的纪录，给它带来可观的成长。今天，NLP正在挑战传统心理学的地位，同时也使许多自我发展和积极思想之类的书籍显得非常的不完整且又过时。 
世界最著名的潜能专家安东尼·罗宾斯，开始时也是修读NLP，然后从中发展出他具有个人风格的课程。现今他是世界上收入最高的培训导师。目前国内著名的讲师尚致胜，就是班德勒的弟子。
英文简介
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.
