This text is a response to changes currently affecting counselling.
A team of contributors identify the pressures forcing change,
taking into account national and European legislation and the drive
from within counselling towards greater professionalism and
accountability. Part one considers the impact of accredation,
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), developing Codes of
Ethics and evaluating effectiveness. Part two looks at new
interventions for common problems, such as smoking, depression,
stress and abuse; new settings for counselling, including the
workplace and medical practice; and new techniques, such as using
narratives. The final part discusses issues in training, raising
questions about the place of a feminist perspective and whether
there are still myths about counselling which need to be
challenged.
Women's careers have been a topic of research and discussion in
many disciplines including sociology, business, industrial,
organisational and vocational psychology, and career guidance.
Despite the introduction of equal employment legislation in many
countries, women's patterns of career development continue to
reflect structural labour market disadvantage. This unique book
brings together expert contributions from academic researchers, as
well as representing the voices of older women who participated in
an international research investigation. Grounded in
multidisciplinary empirical studies, the book provides: * a variety
of perspectives on women's careers in the 21st century * an
international exploration of the voice of the older woman * an
understanding of both the challenges and responses to women as they
construct their careers. Offering a comprehensive understanding of
women's career development throughout the lifespan, this book will
be of key interest to academics and researchers from the fields of
education, psychology, management, geography, labour market
economics and sociology, as well as career practitioners, managers,
trainers, researchers and policy developers.
