Perspective on Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
By Gary I. Wilson, Colonel (Retired), United States Marine Corps, Carlsbad, California
Conclusion
NLP has captured the attention of law enforcement and interrogators regarding its application to detecting deception during interview and interrogation processes. Clearly, there is a lack of evidence-based data to support using NLP for ferreting out deception. Yet employing NLP techniques for detecting deception persists throughout law enforcement communities despite the dearth of supportive evidence. NLP utility for deciphering truth from deception is a myth. Nonetheless, it is still touted for investigative interviewing. Those working in the area of forensics need to be aware of the shortcomings of methods that are not evidence based. It is essential to strive for the use of techniques and methods that are supported by research data—“The only certain method of discerning truth relies on the corroboration of the known facts independent of the information provided by the person interviewed.
