“…Despite the emergence of narrative assessment and counselling procedures, there has been limited research into their processes and outcomes (McIlveen & Patton, 2007). This study forms part of a broader programme of research that aims to critique My Career Chapter's theoretical and technical composition, and its practical applications.…”

“…Accordingly, the constructivist, narrative approach to career counselling has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional methods of vocational guidance because of its emphasis upon meaning and identity (Patton & McMahon, 2006b). Notwithstanding the proven value of the traditional approaches to career development (e.g., person-environment fit), exemplars of narrative career assessment and counselling procedures (McIlveen & Patton, 2007;McMahon & Patton, 2003) demonstrate their relevance to contemporary guidance practice and the complexities of the educational and industrial environments in which adolescents make career-related decisions and educational choices.…”

This article presents an investigation into the properties of a new narrative technique for career assessment and counselling, ‘My Career Chapter: A Dialogical Autobiography’. This technique is used to facilitate clients' construction of a meaningful career-related autobiography. Previous research indicates the usefulness of My Career Chapter for adult clients and its alignment with recommendations for the development and application of qualitative assessment and counselling techniques. This study specifically commences research into the technique's applicability for adolescents. A focus group, comprised of guidance counselling professionals whose work primarily pertained to the needs of adolescents, found that there is potential to develop a version of My Career Chapter that is suitable for adolescents.

“…Take narrative career counselling as an example of the differential proliferation of practice over explanatory theory and research. The narrative approach treats the client's story as being integral to the very process and outcome of assessment and intervention, however explanatory theory and research studies for this approach are, as yet, limited (McIlveen & Patton, 2007b).…”

This paper overviews the qualitative research method autoethnography and its relevance to research in vocational psychology and practice in career development. Autoethnography is a reflexive means by which the researcher-practitioner consciously embeds himself or herself amidst theory and practice, and by way of intimate autobiographic account, explicates a phenomenon under investigation or intervention. Autoethnography is presented as a vehicle to operationalise social constructionist research and practice that aims to establish trustworthiness and authenticity. Furthermore, the method is presented as a means to operationalise the notion of critical consciousness within researchers and practitioners. It is concluded that autoethnography should be admitted to the methodological repertoire of methods for vocational psychology research and practice.Author post-print version of McIlveen, P. (2008).

“…In light of the similarities between narrative and counseling, it is not surprising that many new and innovative approaches to counseling practice are indebted to narrative theory in the vocational literature (McIlveen, 2012;McIlveen & Patton, 2007McMahon & Watson, 2011;Savickas, 2005Savickas, , 2011Savickas, , 2012Young & Popadiuk, 2012). The system's theory framework of career development (Patton & McMahon, 2017) featured in this book is deeply influenced by narrative theory.…”
