Cognitive Behavioral Coaching: Models, Approaches, and Research. RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM SY32
The purpose of the symposium: to present current models and research in the field of cognitive-behavioral coaching, and to present the opportunities that it opens for psychotherapists. Cognitive-behavioral coaching (CBC) is an actively developing area of cognitive-behavioral approach. The cognitive behavioral coaching focuses on achieving goals and empowering the client, not on solving problems or correcting dysfunctions. This goal corresponds to modern trends in focusing on the development and well-being of the individual in a changing world. Mastery of coaching methods expands the repertoire of a cognitive behavioral therapists and allows them to work with clients who do not experience maladaptation but want to improve their lives and become more effective. Currently, cognitive-behavioral coaching is developing very fast, especially its models and technologies. However, many points need to be clarified, for example, such disputable topics as the relationship between cognitive behavioral coaching and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, conceptualization in cognitive behavioral coaching, models of coaching effectiveness.
