In the early 1980s, NLP was welcomed with a momentum in psychotherapy and counseling .In an article published in 2005, psychologist Devilly Grant said that at the time it was introduced, NLP was heralded as a breakthrough in therapy, and advertisements began appearing for training workshops, videos and working book-shops began offering certification diplomas. However, controlled studies have put a dim light on the practice, as well as those that promote such interventions statements produced extremely changeable and researchers began to question the wisdom of further investigating this area. An analysis of research conducted by Christopher Sharpley preferred to focus on systems of representation, in 1984, followed by another review in 1987 in response to criticism published Einspruch and Forman, concluded that there was little evidence for its usefulness as an effective tool for counseling. The name NLP was characterized as pseudo-scientific. Witkowski (2010) also provides that, in neurons NLP provides no explanation and has nothing in common with academic or programming language. Similarly, experimental psychologist Corballis (1999) in his criticism of lateralized brain function (myth left / right brain), states that "NLP is a completely fake title, designed to give the impression of scientific respectability." According to Witkowski (2010), NLP, appears on "the list of discredited therapies," published in the journal "Professional Psychology: Research and Practice", referring to work by Carroll (2003), Della Sala (1999) , Lilienfeld et al. (2003) and Singer and Lalich (1996) on "pseudoscientific, invalid, or" bulk "psychotherapists in clinical psychology, Norcross et al.
