This chapter reviews the development of SFBT outcome research chronologically, beginning with the first compilation of outcome studies by the European Brief Therapy Association (EBTA) described by Macdonald. It then discusses the first systematic review of controlled SFBT outcome studies published by Gingerich and Eisengart, followed by the meta-analytic reviews of Stams et al. and Kim. Finally, it reviews several important studies that have appeared since the meta-analyses and concludes with a summary of SFBT outcome research to date.Less

In its approximately twenty-five years of existence, the executive coaching field has rapidly grown, becoming a highly profitable market globally. It emerges as a recognized approach to improve leadership practice, increasingly becoming an important part of organizational life. Business schools are now incorporating executive coaching into their curricula. This book offers to readers a comprehensive overview of the executive coaching practice and the relevant research on executive coaching outcomes. It presents how coaching emerged as a personal and professional development intervention and focuses on what executive coaching is and what it is not. A detailed overview of all aspects relating to coaching executives is provided: the key stakeholders, context, and practical aspects of coaching interventions, the theoretical approaches underpinning the coaching practice, the tools, models, and frameworks applied by executive coaches, etc. While these themes have been covered in several publications within the coaching field, this book is different because of several additional contributions. It provides new insights into the executive coaching field by presenting a systematic review of its outcome studies, offering evidence on the different forms of impact that the executive coaching practice has, as well as providing an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing research and discussing how the latter can be addressed. It offers an overview of the existing key leadership theories and directly links the executive coaching field with the fields of leadership and leadership development. Finally, the broader implications executive coaching can have for management education are discussed.Less
