“…Various conceptualizations of psychological functioning, such as the wellness model (Myers & Sweeney, 2004), highlight the interconnectivity of career development aspects with other domains of functioning. In addition, connections between career development and mental health have been found in numerous studies (Cardoso, 2016; Constantine & Flores, 2006; Corbière, Mercier, & Lesage, 2004; Gati et al, 2011; Osborn, Hayden, Peterson, & Sampson, 2016; Rottinghaus, Jenkins, & Jantzer, 2009; Saunders, Peterson, Sampson, & Reardon, 2000; Walker & Peterson, 2012).

Effective instructional strategies are needed for career practitioner training. Experiential learning theory (ELT; A. Y. Kolb & Kolb, 2009) provides an instructional foundation from which awareness of the various components of career development can be enhanced. Support for ELT as an effective method of instruction exists in various fields (Hoover, Giambatista, Sorenson, & Bommer, 2010; Ti et al., 2009). ELT integrates 6 shared propositions derived from John Dewey, Jean Piaget, William James, Carl Jung, and Carl Rogers (A. Y. Kolb & Kolb, 2009). This article outlines components of ELT and their application in training career service practitioners.

“…In line with Cardoso's [34] view that clients should be informed about the goals and nature of career counseling to strengthen the working alliance between counselor and client, Jacques' implicit and explicit requests for 'advice' were consistently answered by simply referring him to the first question in the CIP ("Who is the expert on you; knows you better than anyone else in the world?") and by encouraging him to reflect on his initial reflections.…”

“…The two newly developed career counseling instruments used in the current research to facilitate the working alliance between the participant and the counselor [34] elicited the participant's career-life story [55,56] and yielded complementary data that were later integrated to help the participant not only choose a career but, especially, deal with his deep sense of insecurity. Change was promoted through the implementation of self-and career construction [56] as well as reflexivity processes and outcomes [27].…”

This article reports on the integration of personal and career counseling to promote sustainable development and change. An explorative, descriptive, instrumental, single-case study approach was followed. Qualitative and quantitative data collection strategies were used to collect data, and an integrative career construction counseling intervention was conducted. The intervention comprised, first, elicitation of the participant's micro-and meso-career-life stories; second, integration of these stories into a coherent macro-story, with the participant's authorization of the narrative; and, third, co-construction by the participant and the counselor of action steps to facilitate action and forward movement. Integrating personal and career counseling helped to address the participants' deep-seated personal needs while simultaneously addressing his career counseling needs. Longitudinal, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research is essential to determine the value and importance of integrating personal and career counseling. This study contributed to expanding the research on interventions that integrate personal and career counseling, promoting the development of sustainable career-life projects.Sustainability 2018, 10, 4176 2 of 16 in the first place. Here, we agree with Savickas [8,11] and others who maintain that career counseling is, by definition, personal counseling.From a psychological perspective, sustainability and sustainable development [12,13] relate to promoting strengths that will improve people's chances to enjoy decent and meaningful lives [2,14,15]. This perspective can be linked to a primary prevention perspective [16], which stresses the importance of constructing a healthy life (both personally and professionally) through timely counseling interventions. From an ecological and socioeconomic as well as individual perspective, the psychology of sustainability and sustainable development [12,13] aims to improve people's quality of life generally. Advanced counseling interventions can promote reflection and reflexivity on what constitutes actual sustainability for people. Actual sustainability here refers to people's core goals, interests, and values. Ultimately, the goal is to promote sustainable career-life projects and inspire successful actions and positive change [17].This paper is articulated as follows. Theories about personal counseling, life design counseling principles, integrated use of two instruments to promote career counseling are delineated; rationale for the study and goals of the study are provided; method, outcomes of the quantitative part of the assessment, outcomes of the qualitative part of the assessment, discussion, advice for counselors contemplating this type of intervention, limitations, recommendations for future research, and conclusion are presented.

“…Although it is not totally possible to combine some basic identifications in the same therapeutic environment within the conceptualization framework of various theories (Oddli, Nissen-Lie, & Halvorsen, 2016), the assumption of the difficulties the individuals live are multidimensional and thus a theory might not be sufficient in terms of providing solutions for the problems of individuals causes the acceptance of comprehensive interventions (Cardoso, 2016;Hicks, Alexander, and Jones, 2016;Lin, 2016;Wu, Huang, Jackson, Suve & Morrow, 2016). For example, the eclectic approach that can be conducted on having parents accept their disabled child facilitates a person both benefiting from notions of psychodynamic approaches to understand personal dynamics of the difficulty s/he experiences and behavioristic techniques by having him or her participate in social environments to face this problem.…”
