ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the idea of assimilating gestalt-based coaching into psychotherapy. It advocates obtaining concepts of coaching and gaining coaching practice by completing an ICF-accredited coach training program. Whereas a lot of people say they “do a little gestalt,” it takes a little time to grasp the concepts and practices of coaching and then try to utilize them. One must first grasp what coaching is before he or she can understand where there might be overlap or similitude enough to warrant assimilation.
