She concludes that the latest developments in NLP attempt to resolve the paradox of how to systematically model something that all codes (maps) can only partially reflect the holistic nature of systems.

Richard Bolstad, NLP and the Five Elements: using NLP to heal the systemic imbalances behind "illness"

At the base of the Chinese traditional medical system is the model of five different phases that any energy system (including the human mind-body system) cycles through.This article explains how each specific physical dis-ease is a result of the effects of a metaprogram-like energy imbalance in ONE of the five phases.

Social relations and behaviour are changed when the location of social representations are changed.
