Frank Farrelly - Provocative Therapy


Frank Farrelly is the author of a book called Provocative Therapy focusing on radical therapeutic moves intended to jolt the client out of his current mindset. This approach was modeled by Richard Bandler during the early years of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Provocative therapy was developed in an inpatient ward as Farrelly, dissatisfied with his effectiveness as a therapist, and influenced by Carl Rogers and Spurgeon English, began to explore new procedures for promoting significant, resilient change in chronic and recalcitrant patients. He worked in this institutional setting for 17 years, continuing to develop and refine his techniques.

In the late 1970s the Temple University Psychiatric Department held a conference, Analysing the Analyst, where Farrelly gave a number of demonstrations of his work. It was during this period that Richard Bandler and John Grinder began to take an interest in his ideas. Many who have observed both Bandler and Farrelly believe that Provocative Therapy has had a significant influence on the development of the NLP approaches and attitudes.
