Career Counseling

Revised for modern work trends, this approach introduces a narrative model in which individuals shape their own career stories instead of being matched to predetermined jobs. With theoretical insights, therapeutic processes and vivid case examples, it adapts to telework, temp roles and the gig economy.
In this second edition of Career Counseling, Mark L. Savickas updates his influential approach to reflect recent trends in the modern workplace such as telework, the increased use of temporary employees, and the emerging amp quot gig economy. amp quot  

Career and vocational guidance have existed since the early 2 th century, and has centered primarily around interest inventories and ways to match individuals to jobs. Savickas discusses and reviews this history as he presents his 2 st century theory of career counseling: a therapeutic form completely different from traditional vocational guidance or career education. Rather than assuming that a person amp rsquo s interests and traits exist a priori and are ready to be matched to a particular career, this narrative approach recognizes the power of the individual to construct their own career story. In this book, Savickas explores his practical approach: its theory, history, therapy process, primary change mechanisms, and the empirical basis for its effectiveness.  This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding this approach and how it might be used in their practice.
