The Coaching Psychology Handbook: Integrating Psychological Theory, Practice and Research (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781394292776)

Presents a comprehensive guide to evidence-based coaching psychology for students and advanced practitioners

Coaching psychology has transformed into a thriving discipline that merges psychological theory with practical application, yet many existing resources no longer reflect the field's rapid evolution. The Coaching Psychology Handbook addresses this gap by providing an authoritative, research-driven exploration of the key psychological principles that underpin effective coaching. Demonstrating how evidence-based psychological frameworks can be applied in coaching to create meaningful, lasting change, this practical resource equips readers with a deep understanding of human development, motivation, behavior change, cognition, self-reflection, and attachment.

With contributions from internationally recognized scholars and practitioners, the Handbook is both comprehensive and practical, offering a structured, integrative approach to coaching psychology. Each chapter connects theory directly to real-world practice, incorporating cutting-edge research and contemporary challenges, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the impact of AI and other technologies. Blending diverse perspectives with rigorous analysis, the book invites readers to engage critically with the field's most influential ideas while preparing them to contribute to its ongoing development.

A vital resource for those seeking to expand their understanding of coaching psychology and apply these insights to diverse professional contexts, The Coaching Psychology Handbook:

• Features over 40 chapters covering both foundational and advanced coaching psychology concepts
• Integrates core psychological theories with practical coaching frameworks
• Offers insights into motivation, behavior change, goal setting, and self-efficacy
• Connects positive psychology principles to real-world coaching practices
• Explores creative, arts-based, and systemic approaches to coaching
• Links theory to practice with applied case examples and evidence-based methodologies

The Coaching Psychology Handbook: Integrating Psychological Theory, Practice and Research is ideal for postgraduate students and advanced practitioners in coaching psychology, positive psychology, and organizational development. It is well-suited for courses such as Coaching Psychology, Evidence-Based Coaching, and Leadership Coaching, and is an essential resource for academic programs in psychology, business, and education.
