Summary:

Savickas (behavioral and community health sciences, Northeastern Ohio U., and counselor education, Kent State U.) discusses the theory and practice of career counseling from a narrative perspective. He covers the core concepts of self, identity, meaning, mastery, and mattering; how practitioners use narrative psychology to help clients revise their career stories; the framework for counseling and elements of the career story interview; assessment of data from the interview; assessment goals for extracting client preoccupations and problems; identifying solutions; using career themes to extend occupational plots; and using assessment results. The book has a supplemental DVD (not included) that demonstrates theoretical principles in practice. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
