“…Rollin (1990) also noted that teacher-counsellors are often expected to fit counselling in with their teaching role. This finding may also be related to student attitudes toward career work (Betz & Coming, 1993;Heppner et al, 1996).…”

“…A number of studies have found that counsellors in training separate personal and career counselling and find career counselling boring (Betz & Coming, 1993), express less interest in career counselling and seek jobs which are not career-related (Pinkney & Jacobs, 1985). More recently, Heppner, O'Brien, Hinkelman and Flores (1996) found that "trainees reported significantly less ability and interest in career-vocational counselling than in social-emotional counselling" (p. 234).…”

An increasing emphasis on the need for provision of career development programs for all ages has prompted a parallel call for greater provision of training for career personnel. The present study surveyed career personnel in Hong Kong who were undertaking additional training, and Masters level students at an Australian university who were engaged in some careers work in their schools but who were not employed in a formal role as career teacher or counsellor. The survey focused on competencies of careers coordinators. The findings generally highlighted a need for more training in the area of career development competencies.

“…Career intervention conceptualized in this way blurs the distinction between career counseling and psychotherapy, a distinction a growing number of authors have come to question (Betz & Corning, 1993;Blocher, 2000;Lucas, 1993;Manuele, 1992;Peavy, 1997). According to Blustein and Spengler (1995), intervention should not be based on different counseling modalities (career counseling vs. personal counseling), but rather it should be determined by each client's specific characteristics.…”

According to the self-psychology of Heinz Kohut, development of a healthy narcissism that is reflected in a secure sense of self, permits individuals to set and pursue meaningful life goals and maintain a sense ofwell-being, particularly in periods of transition and change. Based on this perspective, the primary purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of goal instability and self-esteem to the vocational identity of Portuguese high school students using a sample of 375 individuals. Additionally, the effect of gender and age on vocational identity was assessed. A regression equation accounted for 32% of the variance of the dependent variable with goal instability emerging as the strongest predictor. Implications for career theory and counseling are discussed.

“…Counseling for work and relationship has implications for a range of intervention practices, including the specific practice of career counseling and the more general practice of counseling and psychotherapy, especially as counseling and psychotherapy is practiced by those who consider helping clients move forward in their lives as essential for successful outcomes (Summers, 2001;Wachtel, 2008) or who advocate for integrating personal and career counseling (Betz & Corning, 1993;Blustein, 2006Blustein, , 2008Blustein & Spengler, 1995;Hackett, 1993;Juntunen, 2006). It also has implications for education.…”

Counseling for work and relationship is a social constructionist perspective, informed by feminist and social justice values, and responsive to radical changes in contemporary lives, that fosters a shift in vocational psychology from helping people develop careers to helping people construct lives through work and relationship. The first and major proposition of this perspective is a new discourse for describing the construction of lives that specifies four major social contexts through which people construct lives. These social contexts are market work, personal care work, personal relationships, and market work relationships. Additional propositions of the counseling for work and relationship perspective are the centrality of narrative theory for understanding how lives are constructed and agentic action as a critical process in constructing lives. Implications for research, intervention, and training are considered.
