'''David John Grove''' (] ] - ], ]) was a ]er and the originator of the therapeutic and coaching communication process called ]. He died of a heart attack in Kansas City, USA on 8 January 2008, aged 57 years. His body has been returned to New Zealand for a funeral in ] on 21 January. |

|
|
Grove had European and ] ancestry. He graduated with a ] from the ] in 1972, then studied Business Administration for a postgraduate degree. |
|
|
|
|
|
He was working in business when he came across ] (NLP) in 1978, and became attracted to the way it looked at the structure of experience. Initially, he was planning business applications. |
|
|
|
|
|
Then he tried to attend an NLP business workshop but found it cancelled because not enough people had turned up. The organisers persuaded him to join another group... David became interested in ]s and ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
He went on to work with NLP’s founders, to qualify as a Master Practitioner and to develop skills in Ericksonian ] before walking away from NLP in 1981. |
|
|
|
|
|
In 1983, he completed a graduate degree in Counselling Psychology at the ] and began developing his unique style of therapy. He focused his attention on resolving traumatic memories: memories of childhood abuse or, in the case of ]s, war. |
|
|
|
|
|
He went on to work with over 40,000 people in workshops and healing ] in the ], ], France, Holland, New Zealand, Australia and the ]. |

Grove's process was designed to honour and respect a person’s metaphors, the therapist’s role being to promote self-healing by facilitating a metaphorical journey. He devised a set of questions designed to explore the client's metaphorical landscape while minimising the intrusion or 'pollution' of that landscape by the therapist's own metaphors. Grove called the question set which emerged from his development work "Clean Language". Clean, in this sense, being itself a metaphor for the intention of the therapist to 'stay clean' by keeping their own metaphors to themselves as described above. |
|
|
|
|
|
These aspects of his work were modelled and documented by in their book . They call their model of his work Symbolic Modelling. |
|
|
|
|
|
More recently Grove had moved his focus to an exploration of the therapeutic use of perceived and physical space. He developed a new process which he called ] for working with a client, facilitating them to explore their internal and external perceived landscape by physically moving to different spaces. |
|
|
|
|
|
From that, he became interested in the science of emergence and how its insights can be applied in therapeutic contexts, a process broadly referred to as Emergent Knowledge. He had been working on this with a number of leading NLP figures around the world. |
