Biography
Stephen Palmer, Almuth McDowall
This is a must read for anybody in the field, and anybody interested in caring relationships more generally…you won’t be disappointed." - Cary L. Cooper, From the Foreword
"There is something here for every taste... and comprehensive reading lists will satisfy the academically inclined while reflective practice questions at the end of each chapter will give the more pragmatic member of the profession much food for thought." - Philippa Hain, Assessment Matters
"I found this book to be a valuable guide to the coaching relationship. Throughout the text, I appreciated the reflexive questions at the end of each chapter, which encouraged the reader to apply the theory of the text to their own coaching practice. I believe that there is much to be gained here for both novice and more experienced coaching psychologists alike." - Dr Jennifer Nash, The Coaching Psychologist, Volume 6, Issue 1, June 2010
