Practicing Coaches will find it an invaluable resource as both theory and case examples are clearly presented in an organized and well-written manner." - Professor Carol Kauffman, Founding Director of the Coaching Psychology Institute at Harvard Medical School, USA

Cooper, Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University, UK

The insights provided on the frameworks, psychological theories and practice of coaching psychology are of real value to the coaching psychologist, coach and those working within related fields.Dr Siobhain O'Riordan CPsychol, Chair, British Psychological Society's Special Group in Coaching Psychology, UK

Product Description

The Handbook of Coaching Psychology provides a clear perspective on this emerging area of professional practice. The book begins with a mixture of personal and factual narratives on the historical and current context of coaching and coaching psychology. Stephen Palmer, Alison Whybrow and leading coaching psychologists and coaches outline recent developments in the profession, providing the reader with straightforward insights into the application of eleven different psychological approaches to coaching practice, including:

  • solution focused coaching
  • psychodynamic and systems-psychodynamic coaching
  • narrative coaching
  • cognitive behavioural coaching.

Part three of the book considers the coach-client relationship, coach development and professional boundaries, together with issues of diversity and sustainability. The final part covers coaching initiatives in organisations and supervision followed by an introduction to professional bodies and available resources.

The Handbook of Coaching Psychology is an essential resource for practising coaching psychologists, coaches, human resource and management professionals, and those interested in the psychology underpinning their coaching practice.

Coaching Psychology 29 May 2011
By ChrisR
Format:Paperback
An excellent foundation textbook for anyone aspiring to understand the psychological background to a number of coaching techniques. Easy to read and understand, it is neatly segmented and while establishing the ground for the separate consideration of
"coaching psychology" it also gives you an opportunity to understand your "approach" to coaching and consider what you might wish to investigate for your own practice

Format:Paperback
Very useful book, particularly the analysis of the various theories of coaching psychology and how each theory is illustrated using a case study which enables the reader to understand how the theory could be applied in practice.
