Drawing from the authors’ combined 50 years of experience Social Therapeutic Coaching: A Practical Guide to Group and Couples Work empowers practitioners to break away from focusing on individual change to focusing on groups and their emotional growth. Early chapters touch on the history of coaching and powerful discoveries of social therapeutics before diving into how to lead a social therapeutic group. Sackett and Dabby explain how to incorporate the concept of human relationality into coaching sessions demonstrating how it extends group work beyond assembling like-minded individuals with similar goals into bringing together diverse people with diverse issues that they want to work on and grow around. It also brings a fresh lens to working with couples in which the focus is on discovering what the relationship needs rather than trying to get individuals to compromise change or work towards a preconceived shared vision for an end goal.
