Changing Careers A Ten Year Demonstration of a Developmental Life-Span Approach

The ten-year demonstration project on career change undertaken by the University of Rochester Adult Counseling Center was unique, drawing on key concepts from developmental psychology, personality theory, counselling theory, and the sociology of careers to provide adult career counselling; the findings of the project will become routinely cited in all fields relating to career change. This book covers the background and history of the Center, its functioning and management, the clients and the counsellors (with case studies), and conclusions and evaluation.
