DBM® Remodelling NLP Articles by John McWhirter published in Rapport Magazine.

Part Fourteen: Re-Modelling Modelling
In this article I will describe some of the developments I have made in modelling the process of modelling. To develop my skills and knowledge of modelling I decided to learn all I could abut the modelling methodology that produced NLP.

Part Thirteen: Part C Re-Modelling Perceptual Positioning and Processing
The PP model identifies different positions to process “FROM”. We can improve on this by also including what we are attending “TO”. We can improve on this further if we include the context to process “IN”. These elements are integrated in the DBM “In-From-To” model. ...

Part Thirteen: Part B Re-Modelling Perceptual Positioning and Processing
....When we model what people actually do in the seemingly simple behaviour of getting into 2nd positioning a number of different behaviours emerge. The end result may be similar but how they get there can be very different - the end result can also be very different! ....

Part Thirteen: Part A Re-Modelling Perceptual Positioning and Processing
Increasing our understanding of our perceptual processing can add to our effectiveness and potentially enable us to understand others better and to assist them to improve their processing.
In this article I will investigate perceptual processing and evaluate the Perceptual Position model, outlining some new models and exercises to develop your perceptual processing.

Part Twelve: Part B Re-Modelling Hypnotic Inductions and Hypnotherapy
Erickson was the recognised master of therapeutic hypnosis. Many people have studied and modelled Erickson including Bandler and Grinder. Bandler and Grinder only modelled a fraction of the range and depth of Ericksons hypnosis and therapeutic work.

Part Twelve: Part A Re-Modelling Hypnotic Inductions and Hypnotherapy
Why Use Hypnosis in Therapy?
Hypnosis is used to access unconscious skills and abilities, ultimately to facilitate new learning. When useful this learning will overcome difficulties, solve problems and dissolve limitations...

Part Eleven: Re-Modelling Metaphors
Through modelling and re-modelling metaphor many other effective choices are available to encourage learning processes. One choice is to go beyond the known and the familiar. Metaphor has always been an effective way of making sense of what we don’t yet know ...

Part Ten: Re-Modelling Unconscious Processes and Hypnosis
There are many different opinions, understandings, and models of consciousness and the unconscious. A century ago s the unconscious was considered to be mysterious. In recent times consciousness has become the mystery. There are scores of recent philosophy books each with their view of consciousness

Part Nine: Organising Change
In this article I will outline four different types of change that can used to organise the changes we make. A transcript will demonstrate how I used these in a piece of change work.

Part Eight: Performing Change
This transcript is from a Systemic Counselling training session at the beginning of 1995 and is used with the full permission of the subject. The transcript highlights the differences between a complete modelling approach and a techniques’ approach.

Part Seven: Facilitating Change
We are all modellers of our own realities. Therefore we are all naturalistic modellers. However, we all can benefit from learning more precise and thorough modelling skills. We can learn to model our natural modelling skills and to develop more formal and accurate modelling skills.
In my experience modelling is the most effective means of facilitating change. ...

Part Six: Understanding Change
The main motivation for my ”re-modelling NLP” was and continues to be to improve the effectiveness of change. As part of this it is important for me to understand how things work, especially where I am likely to be involved in usefully changing them.

Part Five: Planning, Problem Solving, Outcomes and Achieving
In this article I will outline some Re-modelling of NLP in the area of planning, organising and achieving outcomes. Unlike other areas I have covered in this series of articles, in this article I have placed much less emphasis on remodelling and more on explaining new models. ....

Part Four: Basic Structures and Processes
An accurate understanding of how we build our models and use them will be the basis for more effective life skills including effective therapy, education, change work, personal and professional development......

Part Three: Feeling, Conflict and Integration
Many, if not most clients, seek therapy because of some kind of bad feeling. NLP offers a number of techniques for dealing with bad feelings. In this third part of my series on re-modelling NLP, I will concentrate on the area of feeling generally and specifically the area of conflicts and how we can use feelings to resolve difficult issues.

Part Two: Re-Modelling Language
In this article I will outline some of my developments in modelling language. This is
an area in which I have worked longest and probably found the most rewarding.
Language has been the main tool in creating DBM, which is similar to the central role
which it has had in NLP.

Part One: Models and Modelling
We are all modellers in a naturalistic way. We all have our models and our own way of building them. What if we understood more about these models and how we build them and developed new, more effective ways to change them? This would involve product, process and principle. This has been the aim of DBM.
