ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to experiment with possible answers to a demanding question: What is the future for of constructivist coaching psychologies? In line with the ideas of future thinking, several possible trends for coaching psychology are identified: democratization, digitalization and integration versus differentiation. A trend in democratization of coaching has been noticed as a shift from the image of coaching as an exclusive intervention reserved for high-level managers. Anticipated developments in coaching and coaching psychology have their reflection to the field of constructivist coaching psychology. For example, unifying different perspectives under a larger constructivist coaching psychology. One of the things that may be anticipated is boundary definition in constructivist psychology in general and in its coaching applications. For example, R. Sternberg & E. Grigorenko argue that unified psychology can and should supplement traditional approaches to psychology. Many trends have influenced coaching psychology and many more are still waiting to influence it in the future.
