Handbook of Career Development: International Perspectives de Gideon Arulmani

Handbook of Career Development: International Perspectives: International and Cultural Psychology

Editat de Gideon Arulmani, Anuradha J. Bakshi, Frederick T. L. Leong, A. G. Watts
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2014
This book is focused on work, occupation and career development: themes that are fundamental to a wide range of human activities and relevant across all cultures. Yet theorizing and model building about this most ubiquitous of human activities from international perspectives have not been vigorous. An examination of the literature pertaining to career development, counseling and guidance that has developed over the last fifty years reveals theorizing and model building have been largely dominated by Western epistemologies, some of the largest workforces in the world are in the developing world. Career guidance is rapidly emerging as a strongly felt need in these contexts. If more relevant models are to be developed, frameworks from other cultures and economies must be recognized as providing constructs that would offer a deeper understanding of career development. This does not mean that existing ideas are to be discarded. Instead, an integrative approach that blends universal principles with particular needs could offer a framework for theorizing, research and practice that has wider relevance. The central objective of this handbook is to draw the wisdom and experiences of different cultures together to consider both universal and specific principles for career guidance and counseling that are socially and economically relevant to contemporary challenges and issues. This book is focused on extending existing concepts to broader contexts as well as introducing new concepts relevant to the discipline of career guidance and counseling.

Recenzii

“This is a wonderful compendium of information, ideas and suggestions for the practitioner, researcher or student. The 41 chapters offer a broad array of perspectives, research and references. Especially because several ideas are sourced from cultures other than the widely published US, the handbook will broaden horizons and challenge preconceived notions. I thank the editors and all of the authors for doing that for me.” (Dr. Jane Goodman, British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, Vol. 43 (5), 2015)
“Handbook of career development: International perspectives comprises 41 chapters across a multitude of key themes including theoretical perspectives, assessment and evaluation, special populations, and counsellor competencies. The international team of contributors often share specific examples from their respective countries, bringing an important global perspective to topics of interest and concern.… Whether your primary interest is in theory, assessment, evaluation, or training, the Handbook of career development: International perspectives is a “must have” for anyone involved in career practice.” (Deirdre Pickerell, CCPA Career Counsellors Chapter, ccpacdchapter.blogspot.de, March, 2014)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

As a quintessentially human activity, work transcends countries and cultures.  But as economies falter and labor markets go global, the concept of career can seem unrealistic—even alien—to many in economically developing and developed nations alike.  The challenge to today's career professional is providing relevant services in the face of rapid, pervasive change.
The Handbook of Career Development assembles theoretical and practical innovations on a world scale.  Written by professionals from diverse countries and fields, this progressive resource presents career guidance and workforce development as cross-cultural, multidisciplinary, and responsive to contemporary realities.  Advanced analysis allows a deeper understanding of the long-term needs of workers as varied as indigenous peoples, older women, immigrants, international students, and the recovering mentally ill.  Easy-to-apply career service strategies are outlined for each of these special groups as also for others.  And the book's multicultural vision entails reinterpreting the notion of career for the economically developing world, including for those engaged in traditional, rural and craft occupations.  Among the areas covered in the Handbook: 
  • Innovations in career theory.
  • The person in contexts across the lifespan.
  • Effective career preparation in a volatile labor market.
  • Green careers: work, environmental sustainability, and social justice.
  • Enabling culturally sensitive career counseling.
  • Services for special groups.
  • New directions for assessment, practice, counselor training, competencies, and standards.
The Handbook of Career Development opens out realistic new paths for all involved in career services, including counselors, psychologists, social workers, human resource managers, educators, youth workers, and policymakers.  It is a suitable resource for a range of academic fields such as developmental studies, economics, ecology, and indigenous studies, and makes an invaluable training text for aspiring career counselors.
