Coaching & Psychotherapy as we enter 2009 - How far have we come?

As we begin 2009, are we any closer to understanding the relationship between coaching and psychotherapy? I believe the short answer is "not much closer". There is not yet consensus about what the process of coaching includes and excludes. Research on psychotherapy process is further along but still continues. As the year progresses, I hope to be able to post some progress on the relationship between these two models of helping people.
