Neurological levels

The Neurological levels were proposed by anthropologist Gregory Bateson.
They form a hierarchy in which each level is progressively more psychologically encompassing and impactful. In order of importance (from high to low) these levels include:
They were developed by Robert Dilts into the Neuro-logical levels of NLP (also known as the logical levels of change and the logical levels of thinking) which are useful for assisting with or understanding change from an individual, social or organization point of view.
The model as developed by Dilts has come under criticism from NLP co-creator John Grinder for its logical incoherence: see Grinder and Bostic's 'Whispering in the Wind'. NLP trainer Michael Breen is another prominent critic, claiming that the utility of the model is not in its structure, but can be explained adequately as an example of anchoring.
