Magic in Practice - By Garner Thompson

“… an elegant and wonderful book … this is the kind of book I hoped one of my students would write”- Dr Richard Bandler, Co-creator and Developer of NLP

“... A brilliantly refreshing antidote to targets and standardising interventions ... Convincing, highly readable and practical” - Speech and Language Therapy in Practice

“Easily integrated into NHS practice There is also considerable scope in a private practice setting, so learning this very interesting and enjoyable approach can act as an additional source of income”- 'Non-Clinical Careers', London Deanery
Between a third and half of all patients seeking help from the medical profession are suffering from medically unexplained symptoms, and we are facing an epidemic of complex chronic conditions that have no easily discernible pathology or cause. Pressure for a model of ‘whole-person’ health care has been growing over the past 25 years, but, no practical, cost-effective, integrative model has been suggested, until now.

Medical NLP - developed out of the work of Dr Richard Bandler and the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming - offers for the first time a practical methodology and explicit interventions to help tackle this debilitating array of problems. Supported by new research and extensive clinical experience, Medical NLP offers the only internationally recognised and licensed health practitioner training that seamlessly integrates psychosocial therapeutic approaches with the existing biomedical principles and time constraints of the consultation process.Written in an accessible style for doctors, nurses, therapists and all other allied health professionals, this is a book about solutions, rather than problems.
