In 2016, we are pleased to continue offering the quarterly Research Digest to our members and associates. The Research Digest is published by the Institute of Coaching, McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate and is made possible through a generous contribution by Meyler Campbell. The Research Digest features selected papers relevant to coaching theory and research that will enhance coaching practices.

The theme of this issue is Coaching and Relationships, including how coaching impacts wider relationships, as well as team and group coaching.
