It is vital that coaches have the ability to recognise mental health problems in their clients, enabling them to make an informed decision about whether coaching is appropriate. A Guide to Coaching and Mental Health provides an indispensable introduction to the assessment of psychological issues in the context of coaching.

Divided into three sections, the book covers all the legal, ethical and practical considerations. Part I, Working on the Boundary, starts by exploring the distinction between normal and abnormal behaviour. In Part II, What's Being Said?, the authors introduce fictional case studies, which cover a range of possible mental health issues from mild depression and anxiety, through to psychoses and potentially life-threatening problems. Part III, Categories of Mental Illness, guides the reader through the definition and management of the more common mental health problems.

This accessible and jargon-free guide to identifying mental illness will prove invaluable for coaches and other related professionals, whatever their level of experience.

Industry Reviews

"Andrew and Carole Buckley have written a thoughtful, highly readable and extremely useful book that will help coaches, and others, recognise and learn how to manage possible mental health issues. It is essential reading for those who have to deal with people who may have psychological problems....a must read to de-mystify the stigma of mental illness." - Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health, Lancaster University, UK and Honorary Vice President of the Association for Coaching

"Here is a practical guide to working with issues of psychological history without reverting to psychological jargon, and with very useful fictional case histories. It is an important addition to the coaching literature, especially for those who have no psychotherapeutic experience." - Sir John Whitmore, named the UK's leading business coach by the Independent Newspaper Business magazine

"This book provides essential reading for practicing coaches and students of coaching and fills a gap in current coaching literature..." - Elaine Cox, International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring
