A Guide to Formulation in Coaching

Lane, Corrie and Kovács present a foundational text for coaches wishing to improve their coaching practice through use of formulation. A Guide to Formulation in Coaching examines the nature and purpose of formulation and how to develop effective formulations that can inform and improve practice. It combines theoretical perspectives with case studies illustrating its use in different coaching contexts to provide a comprehensive and accessible account of the purpose, perspectives and processes used in formulation. In addition to providing practice-based examples and drawing on the literature, the book provides a series of exercises to enable readers to refine their individual approaches. Practical and accessibly written, this book will be a valuable resource for coaches and coaching psychologists, coaching supervisors and trainers, and academics interested in understanding the role of formulation and how it applies in a coaching context.
