This book will take a sidewise look at the knowledge base of coaching. It will interweave the underlying theories of humanistic psychology, cognitive therapy, etc, with the variety of self-help and self-improvement movements that sprang up during the 1960s and 1970s in America, Britain, and around the world. The book will read as a story, and as an argument. It will be intellectually informative, but also dramatic in style. Each chapter will draw links between these early innovative thinkers and the ideas and philosophy of coaching, applying them to practice. Real life examples (client vignettes) of how the knowledge of coaching origins enhances our practice as coaches and enables advanced practice will be used throughout the book.
