Modeling is a technique used in Neuro-Linguistic Programming to discover, communicate, and duplicate the strategies people use to effectively perform certain tasks. The metamodel, which forms part of the foundations of NLP, was in large part the result of modelling the therapeutic techniques of gestalt therapist Fritz Perls.
While, as in the case of Perls, modeling can be done from second-hand sources, it most often involves spending time around the person being modeled while they're engaging in the behavior being studied. The modeler tries to discover what attitudes the individual holds about the activity, what representational systems they use to process information during the task, observes their physiology, as well as the more mundane practical skills they use. The modeler then systematically removes features of the rough model to locate the essential features of the strategy.
Modelling can be done at any level - a microscopic part of a behaviour or problem, through to a complete skillset or an organisation. In each case, it simplifies the complexities of human behaviour, interaction and processing, without losing any of the key steps. Steps in an NLP model may be micro behaviours, microscopic decisions, response patterns, sequences, modes of processing, body use, etc.
In the same way as mathematical models are simplifications of reality which allow quite accurate prediction and testing and a good working guide, so NLP models provide a good guide to how a human based "system" is operating, which can be used for teaching or for examining and identifying potential levers for change.
There are 3 principal uses of modelling:
- To identify from outstanding performers (such as top athletes or salesmen) what exactly they do which makes them outstanding. The skills can then be taught to others, and will often help improve their performance at the skill.
- To understand in functional detail, the nature of a dysfunction - a personal problem, or an organisational interpersonal or family problem, with the intent of finding how it "works", and therefore how it can be effectively helped to change.
- To generate models of how human beings work and process, and aid our understanding of the human mind and body. Thus the modern art of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, the metamodel and much of modern family therapy, started out as modelling projects to simply study another being and see what could be learned from how they worked.
