The NLP Meta Model has three categories. Distortions, generalisations and deletions. And using the acrostic MLCCP UM NUS to help us memorise it we get:
A. DISTORTIONS
1. Mind Reading
2. Lost Performative
3. Cause and Effect
4. Complex Equivalence
5. Presuppositions
B. GENERALISATIONS
6. Universal Quantifiers
7. Modal Operators
C. DELETIONS
8. Nominalisations
9. Unspecified Verbs
10. Simple Deletions
So far we have covered Mind Reads, Lost Performatives, Cause and Effect, and Complex Equivalence. In this session we look at Presuppositions.
A Presupposition is the condition or element in a statement which has to be true in order for the sentence to make sense. But if we accept the presupposition then we may accept something that is true or something that is false. For example, "The cat sat on the mat.", presupposes that there is such a thing as a cat and such a thing as a mat. In addition it presupposes there is a process which we call sitting.
We challenge a Presupposition to get specific details and learn the truth of the matter. For example, in the statement, "The cat sat on the mat.", the questioning method could be, "How do we know if that is even true? Is there actually a cat, is there a mat? Who made that statement? Is this person a reliable and honest witness?”
And then we could challenge the Unspecified Referential Index and ask, “Which cat specifically? And when and where? Show me the evidence?” And we could challenge the Unspecified Verb and ask and, “How specifically did the cat do the process of sitting on the mat?"
For a detailed list of presuppositions read The Structure of Magic Appendix B, by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, 1975.
Example 1
So now let’s explore some more examples. An advertisement states, "We serve healthy low fat meals", presupposes that meals are served; that the meals are healthy according to someone's criteria and that low fat is healthful.
Use any suitable meta model question to challenge each and every element in the statement, for example. "Healthy in what way? Healthy according to whom? What type of fat specifically? Are low fat meals healthy for everyone or just some people?
