Synopsis

This book examines primary and secondary sources to offer a detailed review of career counseling from the 1950s to the 1970s. Throughout this period of time, career counseling was heavily influenced by the prevalent scientific management model and the resulting industrial psychology practices that heavily emphasized an individual's adaptability to the needs of capitalist enterprises. The author argues that while this model was successful in meeting the economic and labor demands of the era, it often overlooked or undervalued other aspects of humanity and personal fulfillment. The author contends that the shortcomings of this approach have persisted into the present day and advocates for a reframed approach to career counseling that gives more careful consideration to personal values and a worker's overall well-being. This book is an important exploration of the history of career counseling and will be of great interest to scholars in a variety of fields. It will also be of interest to career counselors, human resource professionals, and anyone interested in the history of work and the future of career counseling.
