Abstract

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the best evidence-based form of psychotherapy for various types of psychopathology and life problems. In time, cognitive-behavioral theory has been adapted for other types of interventions, like counseling, mentoring, training, and lately coaching. Cognitive-behavioral coaching (CBC) is a specific approach to coaching, that makes use of both CBT conceptualization for problems and evidence-based tools and techniques. Since there are studies focused on the impact of CBC on different outcomes and there is no quantitative review to analyze them, the purpose of the study is to synthesize the magnitude of the effect size of CBC on behavioral, affective, and cognitive outcomes.

We conducted a systematic search on several databases, using keywords in order to find articles that investigate CBC in quantitative studies and reported data onthe effects of the intervention on outcomes. After applying the inclusion criteria, 26 articles have entered the analysis. Our results show that CBC has a positive impact of moderate magnitude. Specifically, our findings reveal that CBC brings high level improvements on performance and low to medium improvements on abilities, affect, and cognition. At the same time we found that CBC is effective regardless of the method or format of delivery. This meta-analysis is the first one to synthesize the efficacy of CBC in order to document its impact and potential moderators. CBC has so far positive results on different types of outcomes, but we need more rigorous studies in the field.
