Coaching Psychology: Constructivist Approaches

Author(s) : Jelena Pavlovic

Reviews and Endorsements

"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 working in complex contexts and this book provides a succinct but robust application 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 constructivist / 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 constructivist approach to individual, group and team coaching. It is a successful attempt to provide a blend of hands on tools and leading academic theories. Recommended!" - Benjamin Croft, founder and chairman, WBECS Group and EthicalCoach.

"Coaching discipline is only at the early stage of developing a solid theoretical platform for practice. Jelena Pavlovic 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 Psychology 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.
