Abstract. Life transitions are sharp discontinuities with the previous life events. They have identifiable beginnings, turning points, and endings. Coping skills learned earlier are mobilized during the transition to help the person manage the transition process. A process conception of transitions includes a series of stages from entry through final resolution and growth. The primary dynamic is the process of letting go of the old value, relationship, or belief to taking hold of a new one. Coping skills consisting of support networking, cognitive restructuring, problem solving, and stress management are key mediating variables that determine the course and emotional intensity of the transition. Attitudes that influence the process are extent of perceived control of the event, perceptions of challenge, and commitment to change. Perceiving the change event as a normal part of living helps to alleviate much of the distress of the transition. Transition theory offers a kind of map that helps counsellors and their clients to conceptualize what is happening to them during intensive life changes.Change is a problem for most people, although their reactions to personal life transitions vary from high anxiety to exhilaration. Our rapidly changing world affects individual lives profoundly through political changes, dislocations, job changes, life-style alterations, and uncertainties about the future.Individual reactions to change depend upon whether it is chosen, such as a vacation, or imposed such as an accident. People vary considerably in coping skills that they use to manage personal change. The purposes of this article are to examine the basic concepts and consequences of life transitions and to describe teachable coping skills and attitudes. The concepts and skills are a useful framework for counselling people in transition. There are many implications for cross-cultural counselling, since how life transitions are perceived and managed varies with different cultures.Transition is defined as a sharp discontinuity with previous life events. It is usually short since coping capacities learned earlier in life emerge to help the person through the stages of "letting go and taking hold" of new values, relationships, and behaviours. Transition in this sense excludes those brief and often unstable periods between developmental stages, such as entering adolescence. Examples of life transitions are changing residence, incurring

“…Through the counseling process, life/career planning can be facilitated in the following areas: 1) examining the influences that have shaped a person's self image: 2) analysis of previous work experience, accomplished tasks, and transferable skills; 3) assessment of one's current life situation to determine activities that increase or decrease anxiety, destroy or build self esteem, and exhaust or energize the individual; 4) develop long-and short-term goals (Brammer and Abrego, 1980).…”

The authors provide an overview of the psychosocial impact of unemployment. Case studies, based on interviews with the long-term unemployed during 1988 and 1989 are presented to highlight the Personal Employment Identity Model. The PEIM is a service delivery paradigm designed to assist counselors when working with the unemployed. It utilizes an individuals's ego identity in relation to their self identification with their previous work role to recommend interventions. Interventions will vary according to the inherent and expressed needs of the individual on the continuum of the Personal Employment Identity Model.
