A Jungian Approach to Coaching

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.
