Download or read book Career Counseling written by Larry Cochran and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1997-04-08 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, scholars and professionals have been attracted to theories offering a deeper view of career, but have been frustrated by difficulties in translating theories of meaning making, development, and identity into viable practice. At the same time, there has been growing disenchantment with impersonal techniques of matching an individualÆs traits with skills required for a specific vocation. While personality traits and talents may help to predict a predisposition to a career type, this method of analysis neglects the influences of human purpose, passion, and life history. In Career Counseling, author Larry Cochran fills the void by introducing the theory of narrative construction, a method of counseling that injects personal identity into career development in a practical way. Cochran demonstrates how literary models and constructivist methods can be used in career development to provide the essential subjective dimension that has been lacking in practical counseling. In addition, he provides the innovative materials that are necessary for making this process both efficient and effective. Contributing a unique and important perspective and approach to career counseling, this volume will be widely used by scholars and professionals in the fields of career counseling, clinical/counseling psychology, social psychology, and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Human services professionals frequently are called on to help people cope with life crises resulting from alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, or other serious problems. Yet they often do now know the most effective techniques for helping people in crisis overcome their sense of panic or defeat, recover their capacity for problem solving, and deal with the physical symptoms of stress. In this book, Douglas Puryear offers practical assistance for psychologists, social workers, and all other professionals whose work involves aiding individuals and families in crisis. He outlines the basic causes and the course of personal and families crises and presents a set of principles for determining when and how to intervene. He details the steps for successful intervention, explaining how to: (1) handle the first contact, (2) assess the situation, (3) plan the intervention, (4) manage interviews, (5) establish and maintain good report and communication, (6) support and mobilize clients, and (7) close the intervention. Numerous case examples from clinical practice illustrate and clarify the approach, and Puryear recounts a typical case in a format that allows readers to check their analyses against his at every stage."- Publisher
