Career Counseling by Mark L Savickas
Author Mark L. Savickas briefly outlines the history of vocational guidance and career education in contemporary culture, then explains career construction theory as the basis for a postmodern model of career counseling. In this narrative approach, practitioners listen closely to clients' stories to identify the occupational plots, career themes, and character arcs that will be used to design the next scenario in their working lives.
