The 8 articles in the Symposium advanced understanding of "Reflexivity in Life-Design Interventions". This discussion highlights distinctions between reflection and reflexivity, as well as their relation to first-order and second-order change. Then the contributions of the Symposium authors are organized using four phases of narrative counseling: symbolic representation, reflective self-examination, reflexive new realizations, and revisioning career identity. The discussion concludes by organizing the diverse terms the authors used to name these four phases into a uniform format. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
