Overview

In this volume, leading scholars and practitioners examine the construct of self through vocational psychology and career development topics centered on theory, assessment, and intervention. Chapters consider predominant theoretical models of career choice and development as well as counseling models rooted in these theoretical models and in contemporary I/O psychology. The book also examines contextual discussions of gender, culture, and socioeconomic class to investigate how self is constructed in relation to our social world.
