About this ebook

This book proposes new insights into not only vocational choices, but, more widely, unconscious processes potentially affecting career decisions, strategies and adjustment. It constitutes the first manual providing a well–designed intervention of group career counseling grounded in a psychodynamic framework. In terms of application, the intervention discussed here is suitable for clients across different stages of career paths and professional growth, such as the entry into the labor market, work transitions and career development. It includes a detailed description of the career counseling sessions, technical aspects and methodological tools, along with helpful case illustrations, examples and scripts. The book will be of interest for an international audience, particularly psychologists providing career services or dealing with career–related issues in clinical practice. Furthermore, it represents a relevant source of information for researchers and practitioners in the field of career counseling and vocational guidance.
