“…Only recently has career counseling been considered a mental health intervention (Blustein, 1987;Brown, 1985;Flamer, 1986;Herr, 1989;ManuelAdkins, 1992;Spokane, 1989). All of the above mentioned papers have been conceptual in nature or have described potential relationships, but none has directly studied the effects of career counseling on mental health.…”

Two sets of research findings, the demonstrated effects of career counseling on career adjustment and the relationship between career adjustment and physical and mental health, were combined to provide the rationale for studies of the effects of career counseling on mental health and psychopathology. A two-phase, discoveryoriented research paradigm was used to collect traditional career adjustment data, mental health adjustment data, client and therapist counseling process data, and demographic data. One hundred and eighty-eight adult clients were screened for moderate levels of both career and mental health concerns. Forty of those adults then received a minimum of eight sessions of career counseling. Studies using this data base are now under way examining (a) the effects of career counseling on mental health adjustment, (b) the relationship between career adjustment and mental health adjustment, and (c) the relationship between counseling process and career and mental health adjustment. This article details this new research paradigm and describes specific analyses now being conducted.While there is a growing literature on the impact of career adjustment on mental health, there is almost no empirical literature on the effects of career counseling on personal adjustment. Most investigations of the effects of career counseling have focused only on career-related outcomes, e.g., making and implementing new career choices. The effects of these interventions have been moderately positive. Spokane and Oliver (1983) and Oliver and Spokane (1988) completed two meta-analyses demonstrating the effectiveness of career interventions for a variety of career-related outcomes. This evidence suggested that treatment effect sizes for career interventions were as great as, and possibly greater than, those of psychotherapy.Such a narrow, career-related focus in the empirical research on career counseling is arguably 2 decades behind studies of work adjustment and
