This book describes methods of career construction counseling based on the conceptual model of life designing. It defines counseling and how career counseling has evolved over the last century. The counseling profession has evolved three distinct conceptual models to direct how they conduct career counseling: guiding, developing, and constructing. The book is organized into nine chapters. Chapter one presents a brief overview of the book. Chapter two examines the core concepts of self, identity, meaning, mastery, and mattering. Chapter three explains how practitioners use narrative psychology to help clients revise their career stories to increase comprehension, coherence, and continuity. Chapter four describes the framework and elements of the Career Construction Interview during which practitioners ask story-crafting questions, which scaffold career construction. Chapter five presents the assessment goals that concentrate on extracting client preoccupations and problems from the early recollections that sustain them. Chapter six describes how to identify client solutions to the problems they pose in their early recollections. Chapter seven discusses how to use career themes or central tensions to extend clients' occupational plots by identifying fitting settings, possible scripts, and future scenarios. The final two chapters concentrate on using the assessment results in career construction counseling. The penultimate chapter describes how career counseling practitioners compose an identity narrative that reconstructs clients' small stories into a large story that encourages reflexivity to clarify choices. The final chapter explains the importance of turning intention to action in the real world, first through exploration and trial, then through deciding and doing.

This chapter describes the framework and elements of the Career Construction Interview during which practitioners ask story-crafting questions, which scaffold career construction. The Career Construction Interview consists of stimulus questions that have evolved over the last 30 years. The career construction counseling discourse theorizes these questions and their sequence. The Career Construction Interview consists of five primary elements of inquiry, each chosen as a gateway to stories about a particular topic. A structured format arranges the five stimulus questions in a sequence that systematically prompts an evocative unfolding of a client's occupational plot and career theme. The stimulus questions, ask about: role models that individuals admired when they were young; television shows they watch regularly; a current favorite story from a book or movie; the saying or motto they like most; and early recollections from around the age of 6.

Assessment of solutions

This chapter describes how to identify client solutions to the problems they pose in their early recollections. With a client's perspective and preoccupations in mind, practitioners begin to consider responses to the question about role models. Models are selected because they portray tentative solutions to the client's predicament in life. How clients describe their role models reveals core elements in their own self-concepts. The systematic reconstruction of a client's 'self' in the life portrait encourages clients to substantiate their self-concepts and highlight their characteristics. To investigate how a person conceptualizes the self, practitioners look to the models as blueprints used by clients early in the process of self-construction. From this perspective, practitioners view role models as the first career choice. When inquiring about role models, it is best to elicit three models because a client's self and self-concept are a complex amalgam of influences and identifications.
