ABSTRACT

If coaches are to deliver their best work, it is important that they are emotionally and psychologically well-resourced. In a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, the ability of coaches to monitor, manage and enable their own well-being is an important component of effective and ethical practice. However, little is known about the self-care needs and practices of coaches, with few resources available to guide practitioners in the development of personalised self-care plans. In this context, it is argued that the use of formulation has the potential to make a significant contribution. Formulation is well-established in applied psychology as a means of better understanding and responding to the needs of individual clients. This article extends the use of formulation to the domain of coach self-care. Following a review of literature relevant to self-care and to formulation, the article presents a case study which illustrates how formulation was applied by a coach to enhance self-awareness, self-monitoring and decision-making in relation to her self-care needs. Particular attention is paid to the way in which the process guided the coach's thinking and decision-making to illustrate how formulation can enable reflective practice in relation to self-care. Implications for training and practice are considered.

如果教练要提供最好的工作，重要的是他们在情感和心理上资源充足。在瞬息万变和日益复杂的世界中，教练监控、管理和实现自身福祉的能力是有效和道德实践的重要组成部分。然而，对于教练的自我保健需求和实践知之甚少，很少有资源可用于指导从业者制定个性化的自我保健计划。在这种情况下，有人认为使用配方有可能做出重大贡献。公式化在应用心理学中得到了很好的认可，作为更好地理解和响应个别客户需求的一种手段。本文将配方的使用扩展到教练自我保健领域。在回顾了与自我保健和配方相关的文献之后，本文提出了一个案例研究，说明了教练如何应用配方来增强与自我保健需求相关的自我意识、自我监控和决策. 特别注意该过程指导教练的思考和决策的方式，以说明制定如何能够实现与自我保健相关的反思实践。考虑了对培训和实践的影响。的思考和决策，以说明制定如何能够实现与自我保健相关的反思实践。考虑了对培训和实践的影响。的思考和决策，以说明制定如何能够实现与自我保健相关的反思实践。考虑了对培训和实践的影响。
