AB  - Executive coaching requires the ability on the part of the coach to differentiate coaching from psychotherapy while using basic psychological skills and insights. It is usually short term and issue focused. At high executive levels, its success depends heavily on the consultant's knowledge about contemporary management and political issues. The case study of a 60-yr-old male CEO is included here to illustrate this process. Fundamentally, psychoanalytically oriented consultants help their clients attain greater psychological freedom to make their own choices and assume responsibility for their own behavior. Unlike psychoanalytic practice, however, coaching consultants may offer suggestions, information, and guidance consistent with their understanding of the psychology of the client in his or her organizational context.
