Product Description

Review

'For coaches interested in learning how we got to where we are, or developing their coaching skills, this a fascinating read. As well as dealing with the psychological fields of the person-centred approach, cognitive psychology, family therapy and systems thinking, hypnotic communication , social psychology and the existential stance the difference between coaching and counselling, lessons from the athletic coaches, ethics in coaching and making the transition from the world of therapy to the workplace world of the corporate coach. This is a serious, but not difficult read. Not for the general reader, but well worthwhile to anyone who takes executive coaching seriously. It could well become a standard text on courses for executive coaches.' - Richard Winfield, Corporate Change from Brefi Group

'...I believe that it is one of the most important coaching-related books currently available. Indeed, it strikes me as being so well-focused on its chosen market that no one should be allowed to practise as an executive coach, or as any kind of business coach, unless they can demonstrate a thorough working knowledge of almost everything in this book... Peltier explains some of the main schools of psychotherapy and shows how they can be adapted for use in the coaching context, along with tips on how to avoid potential pitfalls...the core section of the book is so good and so useful I have no hesitation in making it a Highly Recommended selection.' - Honest Abe's NLP Books Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars A new standard text for executive coaches?, 20 Jun 2002

By	R. C. Winfield (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Normally I review books that I have discovered, and have bought for myself. The Psychology of Executive Coaching: theory and application by Bruce Peltier was sent to me by the publisher. (Definitely a habit to encourage!) Further, whereas I generally read business books, this is an academic book, packed with references and recommended readings. It was written to help psychotherapists and other mental health professionals find ways to break into the field of executive coaching, and blend their skills with the corporate environment.

I come from the corporate environment and have learned my skills through NLP and a wide reading in other applied fields, much of which has been built on the application of psychology to organisations and personal change. What Peltier has produced is a book that reviews the whole range of therapeutic psychology. In fact for a business reader it does the converse of its defined purpose and places executive coaching in the context of the source psychology. It brought me little that was new, but acted as a fascinating consolidation and revision.

For coaches interested in learning how we got to where we are, or developing or revising their coaching skils, this is a fascinating read. As well as dealing with the psychological fields of the person-centred approach, cognitive psychology, family therapy and systems thinking, hypnotic communication, social psychology and the existential stance, it covers the difference between coaching and counselling, lessons from athletic coaches, ethics in coaching and making the transition from the world of therapy to the workplace world of the corporate coach.

This is a serious, but not a difficult read. Not for the general reader, but well worthwhile to anyone who takes executive coaching seriously. It could well become a standard text on courses for executive coaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application, 5 Jan 2005

By A Customer

This is a very inspiring book that continues to help me enormously in setting up as an executive coach, and also later as a psychotherapist. Professor Peltier has obviously put a great deal of work into it as the reference source is vast.

People from academic, psychology, therapy and business backgrounds will be able to find the answers and all the relevant research texts included in a bibliography, written in the clearest manner. So, whether you are setting up as a psychotherapist or as an executive coach, you should find that this book works equally as well on both levels and maintains momentum throughout.

I recently recommended it to a friend and I wrote "I absolutely adored this book....It doesn't contain yards of academic waffle, and gets straight to the point with clear strategy and regular down to earth reminders, all constantly woven into clear business sense.

Yes, it is aimed more at those with psychology or therapy background like me, but there are also chapters on coaching ethics and making career transitions. (I bought it just for a couple of the chapters). "

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb introduction to a vast subject area, 23 Mar 2006

By	PZE "ps2geneve" (Shrivenham, UK) - See all my reviews

Bruce Peltier has produced a superb book which provides an excellent view of major psychological, and psychotherapeutic, theories and approaches in a very readable manner. The clear style with one chapter allocated to each subject means the book can be easily read in part or whole. Each chapter also has a very useful list of recommended reading for those whose appetite for knowledge is stimulated by this book. An excellent work for inexperienced coaches, and one that many experienced coaches would also benefit from reading.
