The part about her father sounds like he was managing his wife, along with the fleet of taxis.

It just sounds a bit awkward. I could be wrong. 24.51.220.237 (talk) 01:55, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Francine Shapiro's NLP background

@Bon courage: Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy is a journal with an impact factor of 2.81. How is it a fringe source? I added other sources as well that you might be more doubtful of but the source alone support the assertion. I don't see how talking about her NLP background is "Undue" even if she doesn't want people to know about it. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Rosen source is okay, the (self-published?) PDF not. If we're going to invoke NLP some context is required to make it clear that it's woo. Bon courage (talk) 12:45, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bon courage If you want to write that it's woo, how about finding your own wording.

To me the fact that Francine Shapiro hosted NLP events and published articles about how great NLP is, is a noteworthy part of her biography.

The current article suggests that Shapiro's story of she discovered EMDR by becoming aware of eye movements involves being aware of eye movements in way that's not typical for normal people. It makes more sense for someone who trained a lot of being aware of eye movements in the NLP context. To me that suggests that the fact that she wrote about the NLP eye accessible cues is notable.

Her interviews suggest that was working directly with one of the NLP founders before completely banishing that part of her background when she started promoting EMDR. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 17:48, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have your ideas. Any secondary sources we can cite that say the same? Bon courage (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bon courage The news articles that Rosen cites are other sources that can be cited. If you don't want to cite the article that Francine Shapiro herself wrote because it's a primary source, that leaves Aiming at Superachievers : NLP: Influencing Anybody to Do Just About Anything in the LA Times and Success: Why it eludes some of us and how to obtain it in La Costan. The LA Times article is accessible on the official website. For the other article the long PDF published at the NLP website has a copy. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 16:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
