Handbook of Vocational Psychology identifies, reports, and
evaluates significant developments in vocational psychology and
career counseling, and in doing so provides both professional
clinicians and students with an informed understanding of both the
current state and continuing progress in the field. As in previous
editions, the fourth edition links theory and research with the
more applied aspects of this field: four sections cover, in order,
the field's history, theory, research, and practical applications.
Clinicians, students, and academics at all levels of experience
will find that the Handbook of Vocational Psychology, 4th ed,
paints an accurate picture of the realities of work and serves as a
practical reference work for anyone interested in keeping up to
date with the latest research and trends in vocational psychology.
In this second edition of Career Counseling, Mark L.
Savickas updates his influential approach to reflect recent
trends in the modern workplace such as telework, the increased use
of temporary employees, and the emerging "gig economy."Â
Career and vocational guidance have existed since the early 20th
century, and has centered primarily around interest inventories and
ways to match individuals to jobs. Savickas discusses and
reviews this history as he presents his 21st century theory
of career counseling: a therapeutic form completely different from
traditional vocational guidance or career education. Rather than
assuming that a person’s interests and traits exist a priori and
are ready to be matched to a particular career, this
narrative approach recognizes the power of the individual to
construct their own career story. In this book, Savickas
explores his practical approach: its theory, history, therapy
process, primary change mechanisms, and the empirical basis for its
effectiveness. This essential primer, amply illustrated with
case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate
students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as
for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding this
approach and how it might be used in their practice. Â
