  • The volume elaborates on how to promote ‘best practice’ in career counselling theory and practice, examines the need for a new approach to career counselling, and discusses the importance of reflecting and reflexivity as integral aspects of 21st century career counselling.
  • It demonstrates the ways in which the Career Construction Interview (Savickas) can be used with or without other auxiliary career counselling techniques and strategies to facilitate career (construction) counselling by connecting connect previously unconnected dots in the career story (life themes) to construct life portraits under the guidance of counsellors.

About this book

In this book, career counselling history, best practices as well as contemporary models and methods are brought together. In reflecting on the past, present, and future of career counselling, the story of the postmodern, narrative or career construction approach and the model and methods used to advance careers in the 21st century is told. A meta-reflection concept is proposed, based on career construction principles and practices and aimed at providing an examination of repeated reflection in career counselling. Overall, an attempt is made to craft a text that is not just specifically instructive but also more generally so. Whereas the theory section includes much that is hands-on and practical, the inclusion of narratives in the practice section turns theory into practice. Narratives illustrate the complexity and contextuality of partnering with clients toward (re-)designed lives. Ultimately, the volume aims to demonstrate how Mark Savickas’ counselling for career construction approach can be used by clients to connect life themes in order to construct life portraits under the guidance of counsellors.
