| Summary |
"Career Psychology describes the theory, science, and practice of career counseling, a field that serves as the foundation for career planning, occupational exploration, career decision-making, vocational choice, job entry, work adjustment, and retirement. The science of vocational psychology uses theory, research, and practice to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of career counseling within an array of career services, including education, guidance, counseling, placement, and coaching. This book consolidates and advances knowledge about the scientific foundations and practical applications of vocational psychology and career counseling. It serves as a reference on the evolution, current status, and future directions of vocational psychology and is useful for researchers, practitioners, and students alike. This book explains how vocational psychology and career counseling can assist diverse groups of people across developmental age periods to construct personally meaningful and socially relevant work lives.
