Life Career Development: A Needed Perspective for all Counseling

Norman C. Gysbers

2004

Given the complexity of the conditions and issues that clients are facing today, how can counselors help them understand and reckon with these conditions and issues? I believe that a perspective of human growth and development called “life career development” can be helpful. It can provide a way for clients and counselors to see relevant client conditions and issues in meaningful relationships. It can offer real-world language to identify, describe, and understand client issues and conditions, a language that clients can understand and can use to begin to solve their problems and reach their goals.
