“…The SLP perspective first developed in the field of sociology (Stebbins, 1982) but has expanded to various professional areas, such as professional counseling (Dieser & Christenson, 2017;Dieser et al, 2015), medicine , nonprofit management and volunteerism (Ardahan, 2016;Stebbins & Graham, 2004), wellness tourism (Howat & Brown, 2010), and career development (Stebbins, 2004(Stebbins, , 2014Taylor & Kay, 2015).
