Welcome to Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice. As usual, the articles in this issue are thought-provoking, insightful and focused on practice. Most of the articles published in this Journal over the last few years have originated from questions about what works in coaching, and more recently, how it works. Our intention as a Journal is to develop a robust evidence base for the field and also to drive forward new thinking and practices that build on what we are learning. In this editorial, written with invited coauthors, Dr Tim Lomas and Dr Jolanta Burke, we explore the emerging possibilities of integrating coaching and positive psychology (PP). Coaching psychology (CP) is an academic field and a professional activity that aims to enhance the wellbeing and performance of people. It is ‘underpinned by models of coaching grounded in established adult and child learning or psychological approaches’ (Palmer & Whybrow, 2007, p. 2). PP, on the other hand, has been described as the scientific study of optimal human functioning (Linley, Joseph, Harrington, & Wood, 2006). Due to a shared interest in human potential, growth and wellbeing, there have been numerous calls for the integration of the two fields (e.g., Biswas-Diener & Dean, 2010; Grant & Spence, 2010; Kauffman, 2006; van Nieuwerburgh & Green, 2014; Green & Palmer, in press).

社论

欢迎参加辅导：国际理论，研究和实践杂志。与往常一样，本期的文章发人深省，见识深刻且侧重于实践。在过去的几年中，本杂志上发表的大多数文章都源于有关什么在教练中起作用，以及最近如何起作用的问题。我们作为期刊的目的是为该领域建立有力的证据基础，并根据我们正在学习的内容推动新的思维和实践。在这篇由特邀合著者Tim Lomas博士和Jolanta Burke博士撰写的社论中，我们探索了整合教练与积极心理学（PP）的新兴可能性。教练心理学（CP）是一个学术领域，是一项旨在提高人们的生活水平和绩效的专业活动。它“以建立在成人和儿童学习或心理方法之上的教练模式为基础”（Palmer＆Whybrow，2007年，第2页）。另一方面，PP被描述为人类最佳功能的科学研究（Linley，Joseph，Harrington和Wood，2006年）。由于人们对人类的潜力，增长和福祉有着共同的兴趣，因此呼吁将这两个领域整合在一起（例如，Biswas-Diener和Dean，2010； Grant和Spence，2010； Kauffman，2006； van Nieuwerburgh和Green） ，2014年；格林和帕尔默，印刷中）。
