“…Findings of this study are consistent with the findings of previous studies (e.g., Anderson & Niles, 1995;Dorn, 1992;Imbimbo, 1994;Krumboltz, 1993;Manuele-Adkins, 1992) which showed that counseling students hold misconceptions regarding interrelationships between career and personal counseling. Participants with no previous career counseling experience lacked a framework for understanding the purpose or value of career counseling.…”

The authors explored attitudes regarding career counseling. Interview data were analyzed and conceptualized using grounded theory methods. Peers, faculty, and programs influenced participants' attitudes. Participants' observations regarding instruction and developed understanding of their own career development figured into favorable attitudes regarding career counseling. Data revealed that students did not perceive that they were competent or confident conducting career counseling. Implications for counselor education are discussed. Engels, Minor, Sampson, and Splete (1995) stated that counselors who focus on career development concerns must be prepared to address stress, wellness, change, performance, occupational health, satisfaction, interpersonal and intrapersonal issues, family, leisure, technology, and communication issues with their clients. Other authors (e.g., Flores & Heppner, 2002;Lent, 2001) agreed that it is critical for counselors to gain proficiency in the practice of career counseling with all populations in order to adequately meet clients' needs. Hartung (2005) further asserted that economic globalization demands that career counseling assist workers worldwide in adapting to the transforming work environment.Hartung (2005) pointed out a shortage of adequately trained career counselors, despite an increasing need for career counseling. To complicate this issue, authors (e.g., Hartung, 2005;Warnke et al., 1993) described interest in career counseling as low and perceptions of career counseling as negative within the profession. According to Watts (2005), a closer look reveals that the counseling profession has marginalized career counseling. While Tinsley (2001) remarked that counseling training programs have devolved from training students to offer clients vocational assistance to training them to work with psychopathology, Savickas, Van Esbroeck, and Herr (2005) indicated that master's programs accredited

“…This may be true because in recent years career counseling has often been viewed as separate and distinct from personal counseling (Burlew, 1992) and has been reduced to testing and information giving, thereby reducing the richness of the work. Questioning whether a person with a career problem is a case for personal or career counseling ignores a long tradition in the career development field that has consistently recognized the importance of personality factors in the process of finding, choosing, and maintaining a career (Manuele-Adkins, 1992;Patterson, 1964;Super, 1951). Distinguishing between career and personal counseling disregards the reality that individuals have psychological issues that interfere with career exploration and decision making (Bluestein, Devenis, & Kidney, 1989;Hartman, Fuqua, & Blum, 1985;Osipow, Carney, Winer, Yanico, & Koschir, 1976).…”

In recent years career counseling has often been viewed as separate and distinct from personal counseling, ignoring a long tradition in the career development field that h a s consistently recognized the importance of personality factors in the process of choosing and maintaining a career. This paper argues for the use of an eclectic career counseling model that embraces both personality and career development theories. The model requires the counselor to be able to move back and forth between the active and directive role of the career counselor and the facilitative and exploratory role of the personal counselor. A case is presented to demonstrate its application and implications for counseling and training are discussed.

“…For example, a client may ask for specific information, an opinion, or aninterpretation of options. The necessity to provide information isrecognised assomething that differentiates career counselling from counselling ingeneral (Gysbers &Moore 1986;Manuele-Adkins, 1992). What is evident in this study isthatall the segments show thatthe counsellor did most ofthe talking.…”

Common Sense Assumptions and Language in Career Counselling

Counsellors and clients enter career counselling with assumptions that effect the process and outcomes of counselling. Common sense assumptions are assumptions that are implicit in interactions and of which people are generally unaware. This article argues that there is a need for counsellors to be aware of these assumptions and acknowledge how they may influence the use of language in the counselling process. Segments of career counselling interactions between school counsellors and secondary students were reviewed using four language study techniques to identify assumptions implicit in the interactions. The results showed that the career counselling sessions were dominated by the counsellor who had a tendency to lead the discussion and outcomes. This confirmed the view of other researchers, who indicate that despite advances in career counselling theory, the counselling process has been limited by the approach of counsellors who have continued to rely on a directive trait and factor approach. Recommendations for addressing the situation are offered.
