ABSTRACT

As the influence of constructivism has become more pervasive in career theory and practice, traditional theories reflecting the logical-positivist worldview have been challenged in relation to their capacity to adequately account for the complex career development patterns of a diverse client group in a rapidly changing society. In response to such challenges, career practitioners have turned to other professions such as counselling and family therapy for guidance in the application of constructivist approaches to their work. Correspondingly, the emergence of a career counselling literature derived from constructivism is now apparent and informing the work of practitioners.
