NLP and Provocative Therapy
Frank Farrelly met Bandler and Grinder after they had published Frogs into Princes. Bandler especially was keen to meet Frank and recorded a whole weekend of Frank working including all the breaks between the actual event. Bandler has always credited Frank as being one of the few therapists who was "doing something" and in 2007 during one of my interviews with RB, he talked about Frank at length and how he first came across his book in a Berkley bookstore.
Richard commented
"Farrelly had to be one of the most courageous people on the face of the earth to do the wackiest things he did."
Some NLPers "don't get Frank" but Richard and John certainly did and in "Frogs into Princes" they described him as "a really exquisite example of requisite variety."
In recent years I have hosted many of Frank's events and attended Provocative Therapy workshops on numerous ocassions. Many NLPers are too in their "NLP heads" and some even believe that the whole PT approach is just being rude to clients, which of course is quite ludicrous. More skilled NLPers like Dr Graham Dawes appreciate that there are many levels to the way in which Frank works and in his "Bermuda Triangle of the Mind" (found at http://www.provocativetherapy.info/) Graham describes the different dimensions of Frank's approach.
Provocative Therapy in action
Provocative Therapy can be described in terms of NLP, but pre dates NLP by over a decade as Frank was first using this approach in 1963. My view is that Bandler in particular was influenced by Frank and when I first saw Frank in 2004 I was amazed by many of the similarities in their attitudes. PT works very much in "the here and now" and many skilled NLPers like Anka Konemann (interviewed on http://www.associationforprvocativetherapy.com/) who had trained extensively with Robert Dilts have followed his work for many years and in her case acted as a translator.

The Association for Provocative Therapy and PT Products
I set up TheAssociation for Provocative Therapy with Frank's endorsement to promote PT in the UK. Many NLPers have already begun to attend Frank's events and to exband their skills. When I first met Frank there were no CDs or DVDs, but now there are a host of different products which can be purchased from http://www.provocativetherapy.info/
