Jonathan,

The link (http://www.brief-therapy.org/steve_miracle.htm) doesn´t work .

I think that the success of coaching, is based on its alternative proposal to psychology or psychotherapy. If we can not separate from its, the coaching will lose specific weight and will end disappearing or changing (mutated) into “something else”, another discipline.

The proposal is to discover and describe what is the essence of coaching, what is the unique and special proposal helping people, and then, develop the discipline on that essence. The interaction with other disciplines is good but not sufficient for the foundation of coaching.

Creo que el éxito del coaching radica en la alternativa que presenta frente a la psicología o psicoterapia. Si no conseguimos separarla de éstas, perderá peso específico y terminará desapareciendo o cambiando (mutando) en otra “cosa”, otra disciplina.

La propuesta es descubrir y describir cuál es la esencia del coaching, cuál es su propuesta única y especial para ayudar a las personas, y luego, desarrollarla en base a dicha esencia. La interacción con otras disciplinas es buena pero no suficiente para la fundación del coaching.
