批判性地分析了教练的起源，指出新自由主义价值观嵌入其中，并探讨了教练作为控制和意识形态工具的影响，提出将教练视为社会过程可促使其成为变革的推动力，对跨文化和挑战性情境中的教练实践有启示。
In this conceptual article, we argue the importance to the coaching profession of a critical understanding of coaching as a social process in order to promote coaching as an enabler for change and facilitate its use in other cultures and challenging contexts. We start with a critical analysis of the origin of coaching, arguing that neoliberal values have been embedded in the discourse of coaching. We also discuss the impact of coaching as an instrumental and ideological device, sometimes used in organisations as a process of control, and suggest that understanding coaching as a social process has the potential to transform it into an enabler for change. We propose a framework for understanding how different philosophical positions affect the way coaches may respond to the challenges of intercultural or oppressive social contexts. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for coaching research and development.
