Learning, Practicing and Living the New Careering

Classic career counseling models have focused almost entirely on practical methods with little attention to the feeling aspect of the career. In an attempt to move beyond these models, Anna Miller-Tiedeman presented New Careeringr, an innovative approach that advocates a theory of life, not job, as career. Miller-Tiedeman's model focuses on the career theory of the individual by addressing both the logical and emotional aspects of the career. New Careeringr is based on the principle of flow, and uses as its foundation ideas from a broad range of theories including, but not limited to, quantum physics, Bohm's notion of wholeness, and Self-Organizing Systems Theory.
"Learning, Practicing, and Living the New Careering" presents a theoretical overview of conventional career counseling philosophies, then examines the New Careeringr model in comparison to these. This volume does not dismiss traditional career theories, but instead illustrates the symbiosis between conventional wisdom and personal reality. A concise explanation of Miller-Tiedeman's model is followed by case studies and discussion points through which counselors and counseling students will learn practical application of the theory of New Careeringr.
