Learning is a pivotal theory of the book. Mentoring and coaching can be viewed as a collaborative project for both parts. The narrative approach to mentoring and coaching unfolded by Law can be seen as one of the foundations to create this dialogical space.
—Professor Reinhard Stelter, PhD, University of Copenhagen
In a significant and necessary way, The Psychology of Coaching, Mentoring, and Learning adds to the process of professionalising coaching. It brings together a considerable body of psychological theory and research in the area of adult development. This is an excellent reference book for anyone who facilitates the development of others.

I have known Ho for over a decade as co-founders with fourteen peers of Coaching Psychology in the UK. His work is, as ever, a pleasure to read. It is evidence-based and arises out of a deep and ongoing desire to integrate the head and heart in the continuously evolving fields of coaching, mentoring and learning.
—Margaret A. Chapman, Chartered & Registered Psychologist, Coach, Mentor, Researcher & Author
