The 'relational turn' is a movement affecting a range of disciplines including neuroscience, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, organisational consulting and, more recently, coaching. Its primary focus is on the centrality of human relating in determining how individuals develop, make meaning and function individually and collectively. In The Theory and Practice of Relational Coaching: Complexity, Paradox and Integration, Simon Cavicchia and Maria Gilbert expand existing coaching theory and practice to focus on the implications of the relational turn for how coaches and clients think about the nature of identity, the self, change, learning, and individual and organisational development. Drawing on perspectives as varied as relational neuroscience, the relational foundations of personality development, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, shame, vulnerability, complexity and systems ideas, the authors shed light on many of the paradoxes and challenges facing coaches and their clients in today’s fast-paced, volatile and uncertain organisational environments. These include holding tensions such as the uniqueness of individual needs with the requirements of organisational contexts, managing multiple stakeholder expectations and networks and balancing linear approaches to change with adjusting to emerging and unpredictable events. Given the ever-increasing volatility, complexity and uncertainty that coaches and their clients face, The Theory and Practice of Relational Coaching guides the reader through a series of illuminating perspectives, examples and practical suggestions. These will enable coaches to integrate a more relational orientation in their work and extend their range and that of their clients for responding creatively to the challenges of modern organisational life. The book will appeal to coaches and coaching psychologists in practice and training, as well as counsellors and psychotherapists retraining as coaches.

Manfred Kets de Vries, Professor of Leadership Development, INSEAD: “The author takes us on an exciting journey to explain what coaching is all about, providing us with a roadmap that is second to none. Anyone interested in better understanding what coaching is all about, would do well to have a serious look at this book.” David Megginson, Professor of Human Resources Development, Sheffield Hallam University: “From a vivid personal story just before the first chapter to the fascinating mass of data in the appendices, this book is a captivating read about the concrete particulars of coaching and the theoretical perspectives we can use to make sense of them. Erik de Haan makes a case for relational coaching and prescribes clearly what his research and the tradition within which it is embedded can tell practitioners in the field.” Bruce E. Wampold, Professor of Counseling Psychology, University of Wisconsin: “I am thrilled that there is a coaching book that emphasizes the coachee and the relationship. In Relational Coaching, Erik de Haan places the emerging profession on a strong foundation that emphasizes the interpersonal aspects of the endeavour.” Relational Coaching is a radically different way of looking at coaching that puts the relationship, from the perspective of the coachee, at the centre. Exploring both age-old tradition and reliable studies in recent decades, Relational Coaching gives the modern executive coach ten commandments to help improve his or her practice. The book demonstrates how each of these commandments is underpinned by sound quantitative research. The book begins by giving a complete overview of the profession and the latest developments in coaching. The second part of the book presents new quantitative and qualitative research into effects and experiences of coaching. Part three contains an introduction to the activities that make a good coach and the mechanisms used to verify coaches’ understanding of their profession. Other topics covered include training, accreditation, supervision and recommended literature.

This book will help professional supervisors, consultants and coaches with the `care for the self¿ aspect of their role - the art of enhancing one¿s own performance with the help of experience in practice. The book features: A compact overview of the whole profession of coaching and consulting supervision An integrated approach for coaches and consultants, highlighting differences More than 40 real-life case vignettes Short summaries after each chapter A full overview of types of contract and methodology, with specific flowcharts A detailed introduction to the ethics of supervision Supervision in Action is a book for all professional consultants who want to take good care of themselves and who want to help other consultants and coaches with the care for the self. "In reading this book, I felt that I was going on a journey with Erik de Haan in his own discovery of the complexities and relevance of supervision to practice, he discusses very well the multiple levels of reflection that help supervisees move from rigidity to flexibility. All the chapters are interspersed with examples of the supervisory process which are geared to illustrate the points that he is making." Professor Maria Gilbert, Joint Head of the Integrative Department at Metanoia "The book is pragmatic and honest, offering rich vignettes to demonstrate application of both simple and complex concepts to the supervision process. De Haan explicitly recognises the complexity of working with people in organisations, working with what is emerging, and positions learning as an ongoing enquiry." Dr Alison Whybrow, i-coach academy Ltd "The distinct contribution of de Haan's book to the coaching profession lies in the focus on the psychodynamic relationship in supervision. The detailed explanation and exploration of the phenomena of transference and parallel process through numerous case examples, provides a rich source of learning and growth for both Supervisor and Supervisee." John Leary-Joyce, CEO Academy of Executive Coaching, EMCC UK President "This excellent title, which combines theory with practical case studies, is recommended reading for those interested in supervision and reflective practice." Dr Jonathan Passmore, Independent Consultant "Galileo once said, 'You cannot teach people anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves.' Erik de Haan is unparalleled in helping coaches to become more effective in this discovery process - in using themselves as an instrument. This book is invaluable for consultants and coaches who want to learn more from experience." Manfred Kets de Vries, Professor of Leadership Development, INSEAD, France "Drawing on his extensive experience as a practitioner, teacher and researcher, de Haan has created a book which will not only benefit experienced supervisors, but will also enhance the capacities of coaches, OD consultants and consulting teams to self reflect and to gain optimum value from their supervision. This book provides a welcome guide for more mindful and skilful supervision practice." Hilary Lines, Executive and Team Coach

With an approachable style that treats teens with respect, this much-needed resource can be used individually or as part of a small group or youth group study.
