ABSTRACT
The term psychodynamic refers to psychological systems that use motives, drives, and related covert variables to explain behavior (English & English, 1958). Psychodynamic career counseling refers to counseling approaches that are guided by attempts to understand, make meaning of, and utilize individual motives, purposes, and drives to facilitate career exploration. Psychodynamic theories include both Freudian and neo-Freudian theories (e.g., approaches developed by Adler and Sullivan).
