A new addition to the organizational psychology field, The Psychology of Coaching and Mentoring draws on key contemporary research to offer an in-depth, international examination of psychological coaching and mentoring.

This authoritative Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Organizational Psychology title focuses on coaching and mentoring. The editors have drawn on their collective experience in collating thematically-structured material from leading writers based in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Coinciding with growing international interest in the applications of psychology to organizations, the work offers a unique depth of analysis from an explicitly psychological perspective. Each chapter includes a detailed literature review that offers academics, researchers, scientist-practitioners and students an invaluable frame of reference. Coverage is built around competencies set forth by regulatory agencies including the APA and BPS, and includes theoretical models, efficacy, training, the growing influence of fields such as neuroscience and mindfulness, and virtual coaching and mentoring.
