Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the Henley Business School 'Coaching Book of the Year' 2023 Award!

In an increasingly superficial and disconnected world, Jungian psychology offers a more soulful alternative. It provides a frame within which we can more easily notice and understand the voice of the unconscious and its implications, allowing us to build deeper relationships and lead more meaningful lives.

In this book, Laurence Barrett explores the fundamental principles and structures of Jung's model of the mind and considers ways in which these may be applied and extended to a modern coaching and consulting practice. It offers a deep but accessible insight to Jungian theory, supported by a wealth of source materials and rich examples from the author's own work and experience.

A Jungian Approach to Coaching will help experienced coaches to better support individuals, groups, and organizations, in a rediscovery of their humanity and their potential. It will help turn leaders into people.

Rezensionen

This book provides a wonderfully structured and easily readable journey into the world of coaching from a Jungian perspective. In an exploration of the hidden, unconscious dynamics that impact how individuals, teams and organizations behave, it suggests some very practical ways in which Jungian psychology can be applied to create healthier and more humane places of work. It is a 'must read' for anyone who is curious about what is going on 'below the surface' in themselves or their interactions with others, whether as a coach, consultant or a friend. The beauty of this book is that its content provides insights which are relevant to all aspects of our lives. At a time of significant societal conflict, it is gift to humanity in helping us understand the troubling and at times irrational aspects of individuals and groups. Its application and relevance is far broader than simply the world of coaching and organizational consulting. Our world needs the deeper understanding that Laurence shares with us. Anyone truly interested in helping individuals and teams to live and work more effectively will greatly benefit from the practical and insightful perspectives that Laurence provides.
