ABSTRACT

Chapter 7 explores Mindfulness and Psychotherapy. Since the coaching profession has always been informed by the therapeutic world we look beyond specific psychological approaches to the common factors that seem to matter most in terms of outcomes and we share the emerging view of mindfulness as advanced therapeutic training. We also point to leading thinkers in the therapeutic field such as Shauna Shapiro, Dan Siegel and Paul Gilbert who have relevance for the mindful coach.
