Given the current scientific framework you don’t change a theory based on anecdotal evidence and single case studies.
Oh, I see the problem now. You’re waiting for research to allow you to decide to do the research you’re waiting for. When the scientific framework tells you there isn’t enough research to reach a conclusion, doesn’t it also tell you to do more research? Picking a research topic should not be as rigorous a process as the research itself.
Even if all the anecdotal and single case studies are false, shouldn’t you at least be interested in why so many people believe in it? NLP is not a religion, you pick it up as an adult. Even if the entire NLP/hypnosis/seduction/whatever industry is just a giant crackpot convention, they still demonstrate enough persuasion techniques to convince people it’s real. Shouldn’t you be swarming over that with the idea of eliminating your suicide rate?
I have more formal credentials with NLP then with academic psychology.

I have multiple friends who makes their living in that industry. One of my best friends worked for a while as a salesperson for Bandlers seminars. I don’t have friends who have as much friends who have degrees in academic psychology.
I just understands both sides well enough to tell you about the situation we have at the moment.

What do you mean when you say “you”?
