In Career Counseling, Dr. Mark Savickas demonstrates his narrative counseling method for helping clients to fit work into their lives, rather than fit themselves to jobs. This approach looks at a client's life as a "novel being written," and it emphasizes recurring themes that reveal how the client uses work to advance his or her life projects.
The career construction theory of vocational development and career counseling, simply stated, holds that individuals build their careers by imposing meaning on vocational behavior. Personality types and developmental transitions deal with what a person has done and how they have done it. However, they do not address the question of why they do what they do, nor do they focus on the spirit that animates nor the values that guide the manifold choices and adjustments that build a career.
Mark Savickas, PhD, is professor and chair in the behavioral sciences department at the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and adjunct professor of counselor education at Kent State University. His 70 articles, 23 book chapters, and 500 presentations to professional groups have dealt with vocational behavior and career counseling. He is a member of the board of directors for the International Association for Educational and Vocational Guidance.
