With its 14 chapters and an impressive line-up of contributors, Introduction to Coaching Psychology provides this systematic overview for a wide audience interested in one of the most exciting areas of contemporary psychology." - Jelena Pavlovic, PhD, Assistant Professor of Organizational Development and Change; founder of Koucing Centar, Serbia.
"I highly recommend this book, because it is just what coaches, coaching psychologists and junior psychologists interested in coaching psychology were waiting for on account of its contents, structure and, especially, its accuracy. It offers a global vision of the elements that are involved and determines the best practices in coaching psychology for example: approaches and models, applications, research, case studies, the coach-coachee relationship. I am also reminded of the significant role psychology bodies provide for coaching psychology in the international market as well as for promoting recognition by society in general." - Carmen Santos, President, COPC Coaching Psychology Section; Official Psychology Society of Catalonia, Spain.
