Abstract: Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) is a systemic imaginative method of psychotherapy with an integrative-cognitive approach, recognised by the European Association of Psychotherapy. However, few papers on this subject exist, especially in Polish, and for this reason we have written this one. We present the history and origins of the NLPt and the differences between the NLPt and the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), providing also an outline of the present state of the research. The theoretical background, the underlying mechanisms and the techniques used in NLPt are described in such fields as PTSD, phobias, OCD and traumas, e.g. the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories or the Visual/Kinesthetic dissociation protocol. The authors show also the existing research describing the successful ways of treating PTSD, trauma, phobias and other anxiety disorders. Even though the NLPt is a rather recent approach, there are promising reports showing its potential, efficiency and durability of effects in the psychotherapy of people suffering from PTSD (veterans), or of victims of assaults, rapes or traumas (e.g. violence or abuse during childhood). The authors of the paper also point to a strong need for asystemization of the findings of the psychological research corroborating the pertinence of the interventions applied in the NLPt, which would foster further development and that research and provide material for the evaluation of the efficiency of that approach.
