Timeline Therapy

     "Time Line Therapy and the Basis of Personality" is a study of most of the important elements 

that make up a person's core personality.  These include time line therapy (memory storage) 

meta programs, and values.



     Section I:  Time Line Therapy.  Utilizing discoveries by Richard Bandler, the authors have 

expanded and updated our knowledge of how people actually store their memories, and of the 

effect that the system a person uses for the storage of their memories has on the personality of 

the individual.  The authors contend that the concepts of a time line, or the notion of time that you 

have stored in your mind, shapes and structures you experience of the world and therefore 

shapes your personality.



     Section II:  Meta Programs.  Meta programs are the most basic filters that process the 

sensory data we receive from the outside world.  Knowing people's meta programs can assist in 

the prediction of their behavior and in communicating with them.  The authors' work in this area is 

well known and is the most thorough available on meta programs.  The authors list 24 meta 

programs, and questions for the elicitation of each.



     Section III:  Values.  Values also serve as filtering mechanisms in the processing of our 

sensory data, and as such they are the most basic level of filters that have content in and of 

themselves.  Values are more basic than beliefs, providing the push behind our motivation and the 

selection criteria for our strategies.  Values are how we evaluate right from wrong and are the 

basis for our evaluation of our behavior.



     This book is a must for anyone interested in NLP, or who wishes to better understand others!
