“…Such results are supportive of the literature that suggests career clients and personal clients have different expectations for counseling (June & Smith, 1983). Career clients seem to have inaccurate expectations about the counseling process, including the perception that counseling can be accomplished in two sessions (Corbishley & Yost, 1989). Such attitudes are not surprising if clients view career counseling as testing and information gathering.…”

Increasingly, there is a call to support the integration of career and personal counseling. However, few empirical studies have examined the overlap between these 2 domains. This study examined how career and personal counseling compared on both process and outcome measures. The participants included real clients who sought career and personal counseling at 3 college counseling centers in the U.S. The findings indicated that except in the area of expectations about counseling, there were no significant differences between career counseling and personal counseling. The implications for counseling practice and training are discussed.

“…According to Krumboltz (1983Krumboltz ( , 1990, these dysfunctional cognitions inhibit constructive action, discouraging people from exploring alternatives and actively seeking information, opinion, or advice that might lead to a career commitment. Such dysfunctional cognitions among college students in general are well documented (Corbishley & Yost, 1987;Lewis & Gilhousen, 1981;Nevo, 1987;Sampson, Peterson, Lenz, Reardon, & Saunders, 1996).…”

This study examined the relationship between dysfunctional career thoughts and adjustment to disability among college students with learning disabilities. Data were obtained from 153 college students with learning disabilities at a large southern university and 595 general college students from the normative sample of the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI). Results indicated that college students with learning disabilities had fewer dysfunctional career thoughts in general, less career decision-making confusion, and less commitment anxiety than the normative sample. However, students with learning disabilities had more dysfunctional career thoughts related to external conflict than the normative sample. A relationship was found among the CTI scores and the scores on the adapted Adjustment scale of the Reaction to Impairment and Disability Inventory. Findings indicated that as the prevalence of dysfunctional career thoughts decreased, the positive adjustment to learning disability increased.

“…The third focal point involved using another metaphor, a roller coaster, designed to acknowledge feelings that the clients may have about their unemployed situation. The figure used as a basis for discussion was based on research that we have conducted regarding psychological reactions to unemployment (Bezanson, Steward, & DeCoff, 1982;Bolles, 1997;Corbishley & Yost, 1989). The purpose of this activity was to acknowledge and validate clients' reactions to their situations and help them characterize resistance they may be experiencing as a form of self-protection (Mahalik, 1994).…”
