f Richard Bandler is right and NLP is an attitude backed up by a methodology (modeling) whichleaves a trail of techniques, then the two volumes of The Source Book of Magic is a collectionof that trail of techniques. In 1997 I began gathering all of the core or essential NLP patterns that

seemed prominent in the field. The final result became the content of what is now the first volumeof The Source Book of Magic. Because the Meta-States Model was recognized and acknowledgedin 1995, I included a few basic Meta-State patterns in Volume I. But just a few. The result was thebasic 77 NLP patterns of the first volume.

How many NLP patterns are there? Thats a hard question to answer. Many patterns are but slightalterations of more fundamental patterns. My guess is that there are probably today 200 or moredistinct NLP patterns. One book recently published 350" patterns but the author was only able toattain that number by counting each Meta-Model distinction as a pattern, and every Milton Modeldistinction as a pattern as well as some short descriptions as a pattern.And, of course, thatbrings up several questions.
