John has published many works including On Deletion Phenomena in English (1972) and Guide to Transformational Grammar (1973) along with other books and articles.
After being invited to participate in therapy groups with psychology student Richard Bandler, John became aware of linguistic patterns used by the therapists. John went on to co-found Neuro Linguistic Programming with Bandler.
The language patterns used by therapists such as Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir and Milton H. Erickson, who was a hypnotherapist, was used along with transformational grammar as the basis for John Grinder and Richard Bandler to come up with their own model called Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Further developed using the published works of the above therapists, the model John was working on later became Neuro Linguistic Programming. Since then John has also co-written many works on the practical applications of NLP and the theories behind it.
