ABSTRACT
Over a decade ago, [ohn Crites (1974a) reviewed five major approaches to career counseling: trait-and-factor, client-centered, psychodynamic, behavioral, and developmental. A career counseling approach was defined by both theoretical models and practical methods. Models connotes the ideas used by counselors in construing diagnosis, process, and outcomes. Methods are the specific procedures used to implement the model such as choice of appraisal procedures or structuring the initial interview. As the contents of this volume attest, the number of approaches has increased since the 1970s. The models and methods within each of the five "major" approaches have also expanded. This expansion is especially noticeable for the developmental approach.
