Traditionally, coaching psychologists have worked with people who
aren't experiencing significant mental distress or have diagnosed
mental illness. This book describes an innovative and challenging
project of bringing coaching psychology to the lived experience of
individuals with a diagnosed mental illness, Borderline Personality
Disorder (BPD). The authors present a case for why coaching
psychology needs to be constructively challenged to broaden its
base and be more inclusive and of service to people experiencing
BPD in particular. The book describes a coaching interaction
involving coaching psychologists and a number of individuals with
BPD who had completed a behavioural skills programme (Dialectical
Behaviour Therapy; DBT). It explores the epistemological and
practice tensions involving the dominance of clinical recovery
(elimination of symptoms) in mental health services and personal or
psychological recovery (originating in the narratives of people
with a diagnosis of mental illness who yearn to live a life worth
living). This book, written amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, makes a
compelling case for coaching psychologists to engage with the
philosophy and practice implications of personal recovery, at both
professional and personal levels. It will be vital reading for
those engaged in coaching psychology and for the education,
training and continuous professional development of coaches and
coaching psychologists.

Six million years ago, the evolving human brain existed only to
instruct our bodies to move. In Mindful Walking, psychologist Hugh
O'Donovan takes us back to this very basic connection between the
brain and the body, and looks at how, by focussing on the simple
act of moving, we can achieve better emotional and physical health.
Uniting this concept of mindfulness in movement along with the
three paths of change for a better life - walking, talking and
meditation - this book shows us how we can better manage the
distractions that clog our path to happiness, while also improving
our physical well-being. Including simple exercises on how to
incorporate mindful walking into our everyday lives, Mindful
Walking is for seasoned walkers, city amblers or people learning
how to walk again after illness. Take your first steps on the
journey to physical health and mental happiness.
