This book provides an introduction to the assessment of psychological issues in the context of coaching. Coaches need to be able to recognise mental health problems in their clients, enabling them to make an informed decision about whether coaching is appropriate. This book covers legal, ethical and practical considerations guiding the reader through definition and management of more common mental health problems. The book is divided into 3 sections. Part I, Working on the Boundary, starts by exploring the distinction between normal and abnormal behaviour. In Part II, What’s Being Said?, fictional case studies are described, which cover a range of possible mental health issues from mild depression and anxiety, through to psychoses and potentially life-threatening problems. Part III, Categories of Mental Illness, guides the reader through the definition and management of the more common mental health problems. This guide to identifying mental illness may be of interest to coaches and other related professionals, whatever their level of experience.
