Title:
Modelling the Structure of Binds and Double Binds 
Synopsis:
How is it that sometimes people want to change, try to change, and may even make changes, yet they end up repeating the same old patterns? Some years ago, having observed this phenomenon in an uncomfortably high number of our clients, Penny Tompkins and I decided to facilitate these clients to self-model how they maintained the same patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours &emdash; despite a great desire to change and all the 'change technology' we (and plenty of other therapists) could offer them. We discovered that they experienced themselves as 'stuck,' 'going round in circles' or 'bound' by an interlocking logic from which there appeared to be no escape.

This article is an extended version of my June 1999 ANLP Conference presentation. It describes: four prototypical binds; defines double binds; and summarises a process for facilitating clients to model their own metaphoric perceptions in order to transform their binds
