Abstract | This chapter addresses life themes in career counselling. Life themes are conceptualised as significant dimensions of career, subjectively and objectively understood. The chapter includes a brief overview of the notion of life themes with reference to classical theories that have long-held life themes as a core theoretical dimension. A dialogical approach to career counselling for life themes is presented. The approach is based upon the Theory of Dialogical Self and Systems Theory Framework of career development and holds that facilitated conversations with self and others, real or imagined, are a primary site for the exploration and construction of life themes in career counselling. Application of two constructivist career assessment and counselling tools, Career Systems Interview and My Career Chapter, is demonstrated in relation to the case of John. It is concluded that this approach offers an alternative for constructivist career counselling for life themes. |
