{{Neuro-linguistic programming}}

The term '''reframing''' designates a communication technique which has origins in [[family systems therapy]] and the work of [[Virginia Satir]]. [[Milton H. Erickson]] has been associated with reframing and it also forms an important part of [[Neuro-linguistic programming]]. In addition, [[provocative therapy]] uses reframing with an emphasis on (contracted; show full);s end.  One year later, he changes his major to music.  After graduation he embarks on a successful music career.  Years later, his friends recall how unfortunate his leg fracture was that summer, and he says, "Breaking my leg was the best thing that ever happened to me!"  From then on, whenever he is disabled by injury or illness, he recalls the lesson and is far less despondent over his temporary disability than he otherwise would have been, as he takes the opportunity to do something novel.


==Example story from Eastern cultures==
<blockquote><i>
An old man lived outside of the village with his son.  He was considered wealthy because they owned a magnificent stallion.

One day lightning struck the post that the horse was tied to and the horse escaped.<p>

The people of the village said "Ohhhh this is a bad thing..."<p>

The old man replied: 
"Maybe Yes... Maybe No..."<p>

The old man and his son repaired the fence and left it open just in case the horse should return.  Some weeks later it did.. with many mares and stallions with it.<p>

The people of the village said "Ohhh this is a very good thing!"<p>

The old man replied: 
"Maybe Yes... Maybe No..."<p>

One day his son was breaking one of the mares to carry a saddle and the horse kicked him and shattered his leg, leaving him crippled.<p>

The people of the village said "Ohhh this is a very bad thing..."<p>

The old man replied: 
"Maybe Yes... Maybe No..."<p>

Later a war broke out within the country... and all able bodied young men were called to arms... most never to return.<p>

The people of the village said "Ohhh this is a good thing!"<p>

The old man replied: 
"Maybe Yes... Maybe No..."<p>

==Context reframing==

The meaning of any behaviour or event exists only in relationship to the context in which it occurs. 

Every behaviour is appropriate in some context. With a context reframe a person takes the disliked behaviour and asks, "Where could this behaviour be useful?" or  "In what other context would this particular behaviour be of value?"

A context reframe leaves the meaning of a behaviour the same and shows how it could be a useful response in a different context.
