“…We grouped the incidents into nine categories, as shown in Table 1. We separated the categories into Internal/Personal factors and External factors on the basis of the Human Ecology Model (Bronfenbrenner, 1977) and the ecological framework (e.g., Cook, Heppner, & O'Brien, 2002;Herr, 1996). The Human Ecology Model suggests that the person, the environment, and the relationship between them should be thought of as systems and subsystems within systems that overlap and influence each other (Bronfenbrenner, 1997).…”

The authors investigated the strategies that helped or hindered 10 immigrant women workers to do well with change that affected their work. A total of 182 incidents were extracted and grouped into 9 categories: personal beliefs/traits/ values, taking action, skills/education, personal challenges, self-care, relationships/ support, government/community resources, work environment, and contextual challenges. Results support and extend contentions that both internal/personal and external factors are key successful adaptation to change for immigrant women. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Counseling recommendations are offered for individuals who are struggling with change.

Building on recent calls for a more explicit and intentional endorsement of social justice goals within counseling psychology and vocational psychology, this article proposes Prilleltensky's (1997) emancipatory communitarian approach to psychological practice as a useful framework for vocational theory, practice, and research. Such a framework emphasizes the distinction between the concepts of work and career and illuminates the extent to which traditional vocational psychology has attended to the needs of the people who experience little, if any, volition in their choices of career or line of work. We present a rationale for integrating an emancipatory communitarian approach into vocational psychology theory and the implications of this approach for future research and practice.

“…Herr's (1996) proposition to understand more fully 'the treatment of persons whose transactions with the environment have been very unfulfilling' (p.6), and to engage purposeful measures to provide a service that will help to counter that, would appear to have application to low SES student career service delivery in universities.…”

This review was With increased funding from the Australian federal government to improve the enrolments of students with low socio-economic status into university, identifying the career needs of this student cohort is of utmost importance, if indeed they are different from other university students. this will ensure career services offer comprehensive and effective support, and avoid duplication or redundant measures. Findings indicate that the careers needs of low socio-economic status university students are different from other university students. strategies that were reported to increase the effectiveness of career development for low socio-economic status university students included person-centred counselling skills; careers education across all courses to familiarise and normalise the careers planning process; avoidance of jargon or assumptions of implicit knowledge regarding university requirements; ensuring careers practitioners are aware of the experiences of students with low socio-economic status; up-to-date labour market information; and extending careers support to students for at least two years after the completion of their studies.Initiatives resulting from the Bradley Review are anticipated to see an increase in enrolments of students with a low socio-economic status (SES). The purpose of this article is to highlight the career needs of low SES university students as an area that requires further research and clarification; more specifically, identifying if the career needs of low SES university students are different from students who don't have a low SES. If so, how can a university careers service meet these needs effectively?at UNIV ALABAMA LIBRARY/SERIALS on March 29, 2015 acd.sagepub.com Downloaded from
