In addition previous versions have included sections which could be merged back in:

• Research into NLP
• Applications - use of NLP in health, law enforcement, govt, education/coaching
• Is NLP a science
• NLP and (psycho)therapy/psychology
• Aspects of NLP - practicality, experimentation, observation and feedback, client centered, structure, clarity of thought
• History - intellectual antecedants

And should probably include also:

• NLP professional structure - qualifications, regulation (or lack of), qualifications needed to train, continuing ethics, integration with psychotherapeutic bodies etc (or not)
• Outdated models - brain lateralization, sole rep system, etc.
• Controversies - including professional views, etc

Edit at will!!

Outdated Models... Definitely a good section to add. Perhaps with some sourced quotes on the nature of how things progress in NLP.Doc Pato 21:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:And how they become outdated too. It's pretty much inherent in the choice of practice over theory. Want to edit it into the above? Its easier for collaborative editing, than editing the entire article. FT2 (Talk) 22:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
