Download or read book Coaching Researched written by Jonathan Passmore and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be a collection of papers from the BPS publication: International Coaching Psychology Review. The new work would bring together the best papers from the last 15 years of the peer review publication, with the aim of more widely showcasing this research, making more accessible to the growing number of coaching researchers in business, health and education, and practitioners where there is a growing interest in evidenced based practice. The last five years have seen a growth in the number of University courses in the UK, and wider English speaking world; Australia, South Africa, and US, as well as in Europe and beyond. We now estimate some fifty plus universities are offering coaching programmes at post-graduate level, with several hundred under-graduate and post-graduate coaching modules leading to a significant growth in coaching related research activity within universities. A second audience we see for the title are practitioners interested in evidenced based practice. In the early development of coaching the focus was on models, specifically those claiming high impact of magical transformations. The growing professionalism of coaching, and the focus of coaching professional bodes such as the International Coach Federation (ICF), Association for Coaching (AC) and European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) on evidenced based practice, as seen a growth interest in the science of coaching. ICPR's growth has been limited as access to the journal is constrained by the BPS. A paper copy of the journal is published, but due to BPS's approach to its in-house 'journals' the use of discoverability on the journals is severely constrained. As a result many of the papers are not in wider circulation, among coaching students and coaching academics.

Download or read book Mindfulness Acceptance and Positive Psychology written by Todd B. Kashdan and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have wondered if there is a key ingredient to living a full and happy life. For decades now, scientists and psychologists alike have been studying the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The positive psychology movement was founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. At the same time, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)—a mindfulness-based, values-oriented behavioral therapy that has many parallels to Buddhism, yet is not religious in any way—has been focused on helping people achieve their greatest human potential. Created only years apart, ACT and positive psychology both promote human flourishing, and they often share overlapping themes and applications, particularly when it comes to setting goals, psychological strengths, mindfulness, and the clarification of what matters most—our values and our search for meaning in life. Despite these similarities, however, the two different therapeutic models are rarely discussed in relation to one another. What if unifying these theories could lead to faster, more profound and enduring improvements to the human condition? Edited by leading researchers in the field of positive psychology, Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Positive Psychology is the first professional book to successfully integrate key elements of ACT and positive psychology to promote healthy functioning in clients. By gaining an understanding of "the seven foundations of well-being," professionals will walk away with concrete, modernized strategies to use when working with clients. Throughout the book, the editors focus on how ACT, mindfulness therapies, and positive psychology can best be utilized by professionals in various settings, from prisons and Fortune 500 business organizations to parents and schools. With contributions by Steven C. Hayes, the founder of ACT, as well as other well-known authorities on ACT and positive psychology such as Robyn Walser, Kristin Neff, Dennis Tirch, Ian Stewart, Louise McHugh, Lance M. McCracken, Acacia Parks, Robert Biswas-Diener, and more, this book provides state-of-the-art research, theory, and applications of relevance to mental health professionals, scientists, advanced students, and people in the general public interested in either ACT or positive psychology.

Book excerpt: Using psychology to develop spaces that enrich human experience Place design matters. Everyone perceives the world around them in a slightly different way, but there are fundamental laws that describe how people experience their physical environments. Place science principles can be applied in homes, schools, stores, restaurants, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and the other spaces people inhabit. This guide to person-centered place design shows architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and other interested individuals how to develop spaces that enrich human experience using concepts derived from rigorous qualitative and quantitative research. In Place Advantage: Applied Psychology for Interior Architecture, applied environmental psychologist Sally Augustin offers design practitioners accessible environmental psychological insights into how elements of the physical environment influence human attitudes and behaviors. She introduces the general principles of place science and shows how factors such as colors, scents, textures, and the spatial composition of a room, as well as personality and cultural identity, impact the experience of a place. These principles are applied to multiple building types, including residences, workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, and retail spaces. Building a bridge between research and design practice, Place Advantage gives people designing and using spaces the evidence-based information and psychological insight to create environments that encourage people to work effectively, learn better, get healthy, and enjoy life.
