“…As these youth develop maturity of vocational thoughts, attitudes, and identity, mental health issues may act as barriers, impacting a healthy career development trajectory. Pace and Quinn (2000) highlighted the association between mental health issues and development and its impact on the early career development of youth. Specifically, dysfunctional career thinking, such as career indecision, may contribute to occupational stress and mental health concerns (Walker & Peterson, 2012).…”

“…Pace and Quinn (2000) support assessing the psychological dimensions of the career decision-making process and promote its examination when planning interventions for clients who present with career concerns. Assessment is central in both career and mental health counseling and a number of existing career assessments concurrently evaluate career and mental health issues.…”

Individuals diagnosed with mental health disorders may have work-related difficulties that impact functioning in all life domains. With limited research on the integration of career and mental health counseling, authors used a discriminant function analysis to assess the predictability of accurately identifying diagnostic categories among 258 adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities (LDs) through the use of constructs derived from three career development inventories. Results showed that using an appropriate interpretive T-score from individuals with the same diagnosis enhanced the ability to discriminate between diagnoses of LD and ADHD in young adults. Implications for the practice of career counseling and development are provided.

“…A university-based clinic can provide them with the opportunity to have access to mental health services and insure that those in need are properly taken care of. Furthermore, studies on university-based counselling clinics have shown that they are often better adapted than general psychiatric services to meet the needs of the student population [ 7,8] . As the severity of the difficulties presented by students in a counselling service is similar to that presented by psychiatric outpatients, it is also imperative that the therapists have solid therapeutic training.…”

SummaryMichel L, Drapeau M, Despland J-N. Psychological impairment in students: an exploratory study. Schweiz Arch Neurol Psychiatr 2003;154:281-3. Despite numerous studies indicating that a significant proportion of students suffers from serious psychological difficulties, a widespread idea about those requesting assistance in a university-based counselling clinic is that they are by no means comparable to patients seen in other settings. The aim of this exploratory study was to address this contention and examine symptom severity and social adjustment in N = 16 students seen in a university-based counselling service and N = 19 students seen in an outpatient psychiatric clinic. Symptom severity was assessed using the SCL-90R. Social adjustment was assessed using the Social Adjustment Self-rated Scale. Results show that students requesting help in the universitybased clinic do not present less psychological impairment than those seen in the psychiatric outpatient setting.These findings indicate that university-based counselling services are needed in order to allow students to seek professional help on their own grounds. Because no significant difference in symptom impairment and in social adaptation was found between the two groups, it is imperative that therapists providing therapeutic help to students on the university campus have solid professional training.

“…One survey of students who sought services at their college counseling center, which provides both mental health and career counseling, found that 14% of students were treated for both career and mental health issues during the same counseling experience (Pace & Quinn, 2000). When dealing with cases involving both kinds of issues, career counselors often walk a "fine line" between career versus psychological counseling.…”

College career centers provide a valuable resource to students faced with choosing a major, learning about different career fields, and securing internships and jobs. Career centers must provide an increasingly sophisticated array of one-on-one and virtual services in order to meet the needs of students and recruiters. Collaborations between the career services office and other departments, including the college counseling center, are necessary to address students' needs in a holistic manner. The author describes the organizational structure of college career centers and services typically offered, discusses psychological correlates of career development and the integration of personal and career counseling, and provides suggestions for how counseling center and other college professionals can collaborate with their career services office. KEYWORDS career counseling, career development, career services delivery, college career centersIn the current challenging economic climate, the delivery of career services to college students is more important than ever. Students rely on their career services office to help them identify career options, research companies and industries, search for job opportunities, prepare documents such as resumes and cover letters, develop interview skills, and evaluate job offers. Meanwhile, clinicians at counseling centers often work with students who have concerns centered on vocational issues. It is important therefore that clinicians understand how their college's career services office functions
