This chapter compares the practice of “coaching” with other methods. There is no consensus on what should be understood by coaching. Coaching associations and professional authors use different definitions. After reading this chapter, you will know the standard scientific criteria to look for in the various definitions of coaching and learn how they can be applied in the posttraditional reflection and examination of coaching approaches. Ideally, this chapter will contribute to resolving the ongoing dispute about coaching definitions. The specifics of coaching can be delineated in comparison to other person-centered interventions.
