There is someone on the Obama website who has a blog with the user name “NLP Master.” URL is

David Axelrod’s father, by the way, was a psychologist; he committed suicide when David was 19. David’s mother was a lefty journalist for a far left magazine called “PM.”

“Although Chicago is home, Axelrod, 53, was born in New York’s Lower East Side, into a leftwing Jewish family, his mother a journalist and his father a psychologist. When he was only 19, his father, suffering from depression, killed himself, an act that so devastated Axelrod that it would be 30 years before he would publicly acknowledge it, with an article about depression.”

David was born in 1955, so he was 19 in 1974. Thirty years later would be 2004. If he wrote an article about depression in 2004, perhaps he speaks about various therapies; NLP is often touted as a potent treatment for depression.
