The Journal of Individual Psychology

Abstract:

Adler recognized career development as an integral component of life. His holistic view of lifestyle as active in career endeavors is a fundamental factor in many career theories. Although his work is often not recognized in career theories, many of the constructs used are similar to those professed by Adler. One emerging theory of career development and counseling uses many of the constructs presented in Individual Psychology. Career construction theory focuses on the counseling process and uses many autobiographical memory techniques to understand the client's motivation and movement. This article highlights Adler's many contributions to understanding career development.
