“…Los GCP están dirigidos fundamentalmente a las personas interesadas en el propio crecimiento personal y en la mejora de sus relaciones personales, y son especialmente eficaces con personas que tienen problemas vitales normales en algún área de su vida, especialmente en el ámbito de las relaciones humanas, bien de pareja, familiares o paterno-filiales, o en el ámbito social y laboral. Son un elemento característico de muchas formaciones en psicoterapia y consejo psicológico que consideran que el desarrollo personal es un elemento vital para la formación de psicoterapeutas competentes (Rose, 2008).…”

This study presents a case analysis as an exemplification of using the Semantic Differential (DS) for the assessment of the changes of meaning and its structure in individual cases in therapeutic contexts.This work entails an extension of the previous study (Gil Escudero y Rodriguez Zafra, 2012) where results about the efficiency of Personal Development Groups (PGG) to the change of meaning of some main psychological concepts of participants in these groups were presented. These changes of meaning are considered as indicators of the emotional, attitudinal and cognitive changes that usually turn out as a result of the participation in such intensive group experiences. The joint analysis of the case data indicates that, after participation in the intensive group experience, the I is valued more and is considered as more benign, serene, with greater subjective well-being, stronger and more dynamic, the perception is perceived. Group as more positive when considering it better and more valuable, more communicative and affective, stronger and more dynamic, and more complete and authentic; Life is valued more positively, perceiving itself as more good and valuable, more authentic and with greater well-being. No sufficiently significant changes were found in the averages of the group of participants in the CPG in the evaluation of the Mother and the Father. In general, there is a general improvement in mood that is reflected in the overall increase in the average response to the DS as a whole.

“…In counsellor training the personal development group (PD group) is a timetabled activity that attempts to create such a developmental, reflexive opportunity. Rose (2008) conceptualises the PD group as a time and place where trainees can question and revise what they know about themselves whilst learning about their impact on others. She argues that by virtue of having such groups there is an explicit acknowledgement that the person of the practitioner has a relevance beyond the models or frameworks that they are being trained in.…”

A narrative inquiry into the construction, composition and performance of coaching identities

This thesis inquires into how successful, independent coaches construct, compose and perform their professional identities. It focuses on the narratives employed and the performances given in pursuit of this. In reflecting on these performances it suggests an alternative discourse to that which is dominant in the coaching literature and on coach training programmes. Rather than “off-the-peg” coaching identities being arrived at through the prospective coach giving allegiance to specific, pre-existing coaching approaches, genres and markets, it suggests that in practice a more individualistic and idiosyncratic process occurs that proceeds from the multi-faceted personality and biographical history of the individual coach. It employs a constructivist, integrative methodology that blends a dialogical/performance approach to narrative research with a worlds-based approach to the critical evaluation of theatre performances. Eight established and successful coaches were interviewed, and accounts of these encounters have been written up and presented here in a case study format. In analysing the interviews a typology of three narratives were identified that existed across all the interviews. These were characterised as assumption, foundation and encounter narratives. The coaches’ performances appeared to function through aligning and making transparent a number of initially disparate and opaque realms or worlds. This research suggests that the capacity to construct substantive individualistic coach identities and give improvised and perspicacious performances is central to effective coaching and supersedes such elements as employing evidence-based approaches, drawing from lists of competencies, and co-modification of the self in order to meet market expectations. This study contributes to an alternative discourse of coaching that suggests there should be greater emphasis on personal development and identity working for aspiring coaches along with a move towards greater emphasis on relational depth, pluralistic practice and a developmental focus in their work with coachees. It concludes by suggesting that a culture of fragmentation and ambiguity within the terrain of coaching, sometimes characterized as the Wild West of coaching, has positive aspects that are beneficial to the character of coaching.
