NLP倍受正統心理學質疑。Grant Devilly（2005）指出：<ref>
{{lang|en|"at the time of its introduction, NLP was heralded as a breakthrough in therapy and advertisements for training workshops, videos and books began to appear in trade magazines. The workshops provided certification [...] However, controlled studies shed such a poor light on the practice, and those promoting the intervention made such extreme and changeable claims that researchers began to question the wisdom of researching the area further and even suggested that NLP was an untestable theory. [...] NLP is no longer as prevalent as it was in the 1970s or 1980s, but is still practiced in small pockets of the human resource community. The science has come and gone, yet the belief still remains" (Grant Devilly, 2005, p.437).}}

{{cquote|在初初推出的時候，NLP被認為是療法上的新突破，亦常見於工作坊、影帶、書本等廣告。這些工作坊提供證書 [……] 可是，在對照研究中，發覺沒有太大實際成效，而且廣告內經常夾雜一些極端或者經常改變的聲稱，所以研究員開始認為研究這方面是不智的，甚至覺得NLP是不可能測驗的理論。 [……] NLP 沒有 1970年代及1980年代般流行，但仍然在一些人力資源界小規模地進行。科學來了又沒有了，但信念還在。}}

*《{{tsl|en|Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience|僞科學百科全書}}》(2000年)中收錄了對NLP的批評文章。
*有人認為，NLP實際上是一種心理控制術。<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ultraculture.org/blog/2014/01/16/nlp-10-ways-protect-mind-control/ |title=存档副本 |access-date=2015-12-30 |archive-date=2021-03-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306223232/https://ultraculture.org/blog/2014/01/16/nlp-10-ways-protect-mind-control/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>
*值得注意的是，NLP的前提假設和[[墨菲定理]]是相衝的。墨菲定律的假設是：只要有大於零的可能，就是有可能發生。

==== 对质疑的反驳 ====
*NLP常被大量使用在「心靈成長」等議題，這是與NLP本身信念有所違背的，引用NLP創始人理察‧班德勒一段話：「我在這裡教大家的，不過就是如何管理人生，……，這不是什麼理念，不是意識形態，也不是宗教信仰，……。」（{{Cite book | title = Get The Life You Want  | ISBN = 9789861751870 }}）
*NLP创始人约翰·葛林德认为NLP与信仰或灵性成长没有关系。<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/nlpfax23.htm |title=存档副本 |access-date=2014-06-15 |archive-date=2018-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180325025449/http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/nlpfax23.htm |dead-url=no }}</ref>

*2013年芬蘭圖爾庫大學(The University of Turku)的一項研究。研究人員給700名志願者觀看電影、或唸故事給他們聽，以挑動他們某一些特殊的情緒。之後。男女受測者會獲得一張人體輪廓圖，並且被要求用顏色把「有感覺」和「沒感覺」的身體部份標示出來，這份結果所研究的內容與NLP中的次感元技術（Sub-modality）所使用的神經系統相同，實驗結果發表於2013年12月份的《美國國家科學院院期刊》（Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences）。<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2531594/Love-really-DOES-make-warm-inside-weak-knees-disgust-turns-stomach.html |title=存档副本 |access-date=2014-01-06 |archive-date=2021-01-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113094144/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2531594/Love-really-DOES-make-warm-inside-weak-knees-disgust-turns-stomach.html |dead-url=no }}</ref>
