Distinct from other texts both in terms of style and ease of use, Career Counseling provides a practical model that connects theory, practice, and resources in hopeful and affirming ways, while offering readers new skills and insights."

Chapter 1
Career Counseling: A Life Career Development Perspective
Careers are person-specific and created by the choices we make throughout our lives. Careers emerge from the constant interplay between the person and the environment. They include activities engaged in prior to entering the workforce and after formal activity as a worker has been completed. Careers encompass the total constellation of life roles that we play. Thus, managing our careers effectively also involves integrating the roles of life effectively. In a very real sense, careers are the manifestations of our attempts at making sense out of our life experiences. The career development process is, in essence, a spiritual journey reflecting our choices concerning how we will spend our time on Earth.âNiles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2005, p. 30
Career Counseling
The Nature of Career Counseling
Manuele-Adkins (1992) described elements of a stereotypic view of career counseling that discredit its psychological component and affect the quality and delivery of career counseling services. In this stereotypic view, career counseling is a rational process, with an emphasis on information-giving, testing, and computer-based systems; it is short-term, thus limiting the range of possible intervention strategies and obscuring psychological processes such as indecision; and it is different from personal counseling, thus lowering the perceived value of career counseling and increasing a false separation between work and nonwork. (p. 222)
- Career counselors have at their disposal standardized assessments that can be used to tell people which occupation they should choose.
- Work role decisions can be made in isolation from other life roles.
- Career counseling does not address âpersonalâ issues.
- Career counselors do not need extensive counseling expertise to do their work competently.
- Career counseling does not address the clientâs context and culture.
- Career counseling is required only when a career decision must be made.
- Career counseling ends when a career decision is made. (p. 5)
Emotion holds promise for providing answers to questions about the why of vocational behavior. It seems time to examine emotionâs role in career theory and practice more broadly and specifically in fostering goal directedness, shaping purpose, constructing meaning, increasing narratability, and promoting intentionality in life-career design.
