ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapters, a review of the major approaches to career counseling were presented. In this chapter the approaches to career counseling are listed across the horizontal dimension in Table 8.1 and summarized down the vertical axis that elaborates the significant features along which they may be described and differentiated. The model of an approach to career counseling as noted by Crites (1981) defines its theoretical framework and conceptual outline. According to Crites (1981), it encompasses three principal chronological stages of any career counseling contact. In the beginning stage a diagnosis of the client's problem is typically made. In the middle stage the process of intervention with the client is carried out. In the ending stage the outcomes of the counseling experience are reviewed and evaluated by the client and counselor.
