Mentoring has become a hot topic in a number of professional
spheres in recent years, but its most important and
longest-established location is in education. However, this volume
is the first wide-ranging academic critique of the concept and its
application. Offering both a critical and a practical stance, the
authors examine the historical and cultural aspects of mentoring
and the motivations behind it. They also explore the effects on the
individuals involved and on the system, and examine the different
approaches to the idea and implementation of mentoring. Drawing
contributions from Europe, the USA and the Middle East, this work
considers a wide range of empirical studies of mentoring from those
countries that have invested in it, including case studies and
analyses of current practice. The book makes a major contribution,
not only on account of the international perspective it provides
but also through analysis of cases in order to establish the
difference between the much-vaunted theoretical advantages promoted
by policy makers and the everyday realities and complexities that
arise in a scheme entirely dependent on personal relationships.
