Summary:

This book aims to provide the reader with a clear and concise introduction to psychodynamic concepts and their application to executive coaching. It is designed to demonstrate the value that a psychodynamic approach can bring to business coaching when applied in a thoughtful and skilful way. The central message is that a psychodynamic perspective enables coaches to understand their clients in depth and to address important underlying issues that often hinder or even sabotage the client's effectiveness and success at work.
