The theory and practice of relational coaching: complexity, paradox and integration

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.

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.
