Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

In this volume, leading scholars and practitioners examine the construct of self through vocational psychology and career development topics centered on theory, assessment, and intervention. Chapters consider predominant theoretical models of career choice and development as well as counseling models rooted in these theoretical models and in contemporary I/O psychology.

The book also examines contextual discussions of gender, culture, and socioeconomic class to investigate how self is constructed in relation to our social world.

CHOICE Review

Given the percentage of time most individuals devote to work and career, this reviewer is surprised that so little (concerted) attention has been paid to understanding the impact of career and work on self and, perhaps more important, the impact of self on work and career choices. This readable, interesting, well-researched volume does much to fill that void in the literature. Hartung (behavioral and community health sciences, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Pharmacy, and adjunct in counseling, Univ. of Akron) and Subich (psychology, Univ. of Akron) gathered an eclectic array of contributors for this volume, and the literature each reviews is scientific and yet broad enough to make the volume appealing in both academic and applied circles. The 13 essays in the book's three sections--"Foundations," "Practice Methods," "Contextual Dimensions"--take up, among much else, gender, social class, and "person-environment fit." Anyone interested or involved in industrial and organizational psychology will benefit from this volume, and those in human resources and personnel could adopt this "self" approach in career counseling, in service to "find[ing] the right job for the person and the right person for the job." Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and especially professionals and practitioners. R. E. Osborne Texas State University--San Marcos
