“…Instead, it seems that what has been established through both this study and others (Dorn, 1983;Dowd & Pety, 1982;Shaw, 1977) is the lack of evidence that exists in support of the construct of PRS for use with NLP. The single study that has offered support for the concept (Falzett,198 1) has recently been questioned, as Dorn et al (1983) did not find the interview method used in that study to be reliable over time.…”

“…On the other hand, Falzett (198 1) pointed out that the eye movement technique was most conducive to research on NLP and should be employed over the predicate usage method. T o support this contention, he also matched counselors and clients on the basis of similar PRS as had other researchers (Dorn, 1983;Dowd & Pety, 1982;Dowd 8c Hingst, 1981). Yet in order to assess PRS via the eye movement procedure, he used an interview format developed by Shaw (1977).…”

“…In the same vein, I (Dorn, 1983) attempted to determine the perceived social attractiveness of counselors as a result of a similar and dissimilar PRS. An analysis of the data did not indicate any differences in perceived counselor attractiveness due to similar PRS.…”

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) theory suggests that each person has a preference for one of the three primary senses: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. This preference is referred to in NLP as a primary representational system (PRS). It is necessary for a client's primary representational system (PRS) preference to he identified correctly if NLP is to he used as a therapeutic modality. Research on identifying PRS preference has been inconsistent. Three methods for identifying PRS were considered in this study.Counselors subscribing to the theory of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) suggest that individuals gather most of their information about the environment through the primary sense systems of sight, sound, and touch. They further suggest that each person prefers one of these senses, referred to as the Primary Representational System (PRS), over the other two (Bandler & Grinder, 1975). Theoretically, during a therapeutic intervention, if the counselor can determine the client's PRS and respond in that system, trust and rapport in the relationship should be enhanced (is therefore necessary that the client's PRS be accurately identified if NLP is to be an effective therapeutic strategy.Since NLP was first introduced, two methods of identifying PRS have been recommended: the predicate preference method and the eye movement technique. The predicate preference method requires that the therapist examine the client's language, because people unconsciously choose specific words that best represent an experience. Fred J .

“…Information regarding formal NLP training is available from the National Association of Neuro-Lingutstic Programming (NANLP; 310 N. Alabama, Suite A 100, Indianapolis, IN 46204). A legitimate criticism of NLP has been the lack of academic research establishing its effectiveness and empirical validity (Dorn, 1983;Druckman & Swets, 1988;Einspruch & Forman, 1985). This situation is changing as scientific research studies of NLP are being conducted and published, and the NANLP Research Committee is addressing this issue ( Duncan.…”

“…Recent literature surveys suggest little supportive evidence for NLP but considerable contrary evidence, and the supportive evidence can be explained in other ways (e.g., Dorn, 1983; Dorn, Brunson, & Atwater, 1983; Sharpley, 1984).…”
