APA Handbook of Career Intervention
Available formats
Part of the landmark APA Handbooks in Psychology® Series from APA
The two-volume APA Handbook of Career Intervention aims to consolidate and advance knowledge about the scientific foundations and practical applications of career intervention. It offers an inclusive resource for understanding and applying principles and practices of career intervention to assist diverse individuals and groups across developmental stages to construct personally meaningful and socially relevant work lives.
The handbook presents information about the historical, contemporary, theoretical, demographic, assessment-based, and professional foundations of career intervention (Volume 1), as a well as specific career intervention models, methods, and materials within each career service noted above and applied to easing career transitions (Volume 2).
In whole or in part, the Handbook aims to be useful to researchers, practitioners, educators, consultants, policy-makers, and students alike across a full array of professions including psychology, counseling, education, and business and industry. Chapter authors are recognized experts in fields ranging from vocational psychology, career development, and industrial and organizational psychology to rehabilitation counseling and higher education. Their collective works examine career intervention within core career theory and practice traditions (i.e., person–environment [P-E] fit, life span development, social cognition and learning, and life–career design) and across the full range of career services (i.e., guidance, education, life design, placement, and coaching) that professionals provide in educational, private practice, community-based, rehabilitation, and other settings.
