“…The divergent thinking intervention results of Sarnoff and Remer (1982) provide support for Pace (1985) who concluded that "Guided fantasy is particularly useful in career counseling since it offers clients an opportunity to step outside of normal career limits such as age or education" (p. 6). In their workshop on parenthood decision making, an aspect of life planning, Kimball and McCabe (1981) asked group participants for their reactions to two guided fantasy tapes.…”

The use of imagery in career counseling and life planning continues to increase just as the use of imagery in counseling and psychotherapy increases. The rationale for using imagery in career counseling and life planning is the same as in counseling and psychotherapy: It allows the client and counselor to bring into awareness unconscious material that is already influencing choices and makes this material usable in future planning. Imagey also allows the client to try on alternative roles. Several studies are cited that indicate that the imagery components of daydreams and fantasies are useful tools for career exploration and life planning when they are accessible to clients and properly processed. Relevant counseling applications and research studies are cited. Some recent tools for eliciting and processing these daydreams and fantasies are presented, and limits as well as benefits of techniques are discussed.

“…For example, D' Zurilla and Nezu (1980) found that undergraduates who participated in brainstorming were able to produce more highly rated (by independent judges) al-ternatives. Sarnoff and Remer (1982) found that two 20-minute guided imagery sessions resulted in the generation of more career alternatives. Mitchell (1980) observed a decrease in anxiety and an increase in exploratory behaviors among career-undecided students who participated in a rational decision-making and cognitive-restructuring intervention.…”

Values Clarification (VC) waxed during the 1970s and waned during the 1980s. Today, psychology lacks an empirically based intervention for helping individuals to clarify their values. In this article, the meteoric rise and then precipitous decline of VC are first described. Conservative religious and political criticisms as well as conceptual flaws within VC are discussed. A reconceptualization of VC that addresses the criticisms and flaws is then proposed. The goal of the reconceptualization is to revitalize the topic of values conflict and clarification, to stimulate a new generation of research, and to establish an empirically based guidance for practice.
