Preview Coaching Psychology: Constructivist Approaches
“What a great and useful addition to the coaching literature – a book that brings together constructivist, relational, systemic and narrative approaches to coaching and shows how they fit together. A book that is both practical and well-grounded in the theory.” — Professor Peter Hawkins, global thought leader and author of many books on leadership and coaching “Constructivist approaches offer substantial advantages to coaches work- ing in complex contexts and this book provides a succinct but robust appli- cation of constructivist psychology to coaching. The book not only offers an accessible introduction to a range of constructivist approaches, but provides a useful integration of these approaches. This is an invaluable resource for coaches and coach educators seeking to build a coherent approach which is able to span individual, group and team coaching. The book is packed with tools and case studies to support application in practice. This is definitely on the top of my recommended reading list for coaching students.” — Roger Maitland, PhD, University of Stellenbosch Business School, South Africa; Director, LifeLab “FINALLY! At last a book on coaching that is firmly grounded in c onstructivist / constructionist philosophy! Anyone who is interested in a well-founded, easy to understand description and explanation should pick up this book. You will never think about coaching the same way afterward. This book will be on my list of recommended readings to my coaching students the second it comes out. Congratulations Jelena!” — Kirsten Dierolf, MA, MCC, MASFP, founder and owner of SolutionsAcademy “This book summarizes rich practical experience rooted in a constructiv- ist approach to individual, group and team coaching. It is a successful at- tempt to provide a blend of hands on tools and leading academic theories. Recommended!” — Benjamin Croft, founder and chairman of WBECS Group and EthicalCoach “Coaching discipline is only at the early stage of developing a solid theoreti- cal platform for practice. Jelena Pavlović takes a very productive step in this direction by introducing an elaborate spectrum of constructivist approaches to coaching practice. I am particularly glad to see Personal Construct Psy- chology being first in her selection of theories – a place it truly deserves.” — Tatiana Bachkirova, Professor of Coaching Psychology and Director of the International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies, Oxford Brookes University, UK Coaching Psychology Coaching Psychology: Constructivist Approaches presents a comprehensive overview of constructivist approaches to individual, group and team coach- ing. Jelena Pavlović introduces key ideas and explores a variety of models, tools and techniques, setting out a landscape of constructivist psychology as applied to coaching. Beginning with an overview of constructivism in contemporary psy- chology, the book elaborates on key processes of discursive and narrative construction of self. A variety of constructivist approaches to coaching, in- cluding personal and relational construct, narrative, appreciative, systemic and solution focused, are offered with basic principles, operating models and coaching techniques. Pavlović also introduces a constructivist model for coaching teams, illustrated with case studies, and sets out a framework and guidelines for training coaches in this approach. Coaching Psychology: Constructivist Approaches offers an innovative re- source for coaches in practice and in training, particularly those seeking to understand how constructivist approaches can be used to develop individu- als, groups and teams.
