Review

'Christine's book has made an important contribution; she brings together three important root strands of this field and valuably integrates them: analytic groups, human systems and Action Learning...Christine also provides thoughtful guidance to practitioners about traps to be avoided and sage advice for how best to use tools and what tool are best suited to different presenting issues and situations. She shows us how being a group or team coach requires not only a thorough training to develop the discipline needed to practice the art and craft of group and team coaching, but also a life time's personal development and reflective practice to develop the holding presence combined with the humility to step back and enable the team or group to do their own work.' - Peter Hawkins, from the foreword


Praise for the first edition of Group and Team Coaching:


'A very lucid, clear and pragmatic exposition what groups are for, how they function, how they malfunction and how they can be worked with much more competently...indispensable to leaders, managers and psychology professionals.' - Gerhard Wilke, Ashridge Business School & Hon. Fellow I.A.G.P.


'As team coaching becomes more widely used, this book provides invaluable insights into the complexities and unconscious processes in groups which coaches need to understand. . Christine Thornton shares theory in a very accessible way, and gives practical pointers to help coaches work at a deeper level and more effectively.' - Gill Smith, Chair, Association for Coaching UK


"She strikes a nice balance between what informs group coaching - the bedrock, if you will - and practical, real-world examples from her twenty-five years' experience in the field. The Coaching profession needs a book like this." Katherine Tulpa, Chair of Association for Coaching [Global], from the foreword


'Ms Thornton has written a sophisticated, cogent book targeting the burgeoning world of group and team coaching. She integrates group analytic and systems theories into the fundamental components of this new profession as well as provides functional tools for working with teams and groups...Thornton's scholarly work establishes a benchmark text in the budding world of group and team coaching.' - International Journal of Group Psychotherapy


'Breaking down complex systems and group analytic theory into understandable parts of a whole...permeating Thornton's approach to coaching is the science and psychodynamics of how we learn....a real celebration of group analysis.' - Group Analysis


'The author says she "set out to write a book that would share some new understandings of group and team life in organisations", and "if the book encourages group and team coaches to question and reflect more on what they find in their work, it will have achieved its purpose". The author's wealth of experience ensures that this is achieved.' - The Coaching Psychologist


'I found Group and Team Coaching: The Essential Guide refreshing in its honesty and willingness to confront the often unconscious "dark side" of group and organizational experience that so frequently interferes with task achievement...a recommended and refreshing work especially for social workers who manage teams, divisions, and organizations.' - Social Work with Groups
