A fresh wind is blowing through the worlds of coaching and psychotherapy: Provocative Coaching ? a unique cocktail of humour, warmth and psychological provocation. This is a book about challenging people in order to help them. It explains in detail how to coach provocatively and the psychological mechanisms through which the provocative style works. It may seem like quite an unusual way of behaving for a professional coach or therapist: humour, however is an important aspect of coaching.
