Description: Better serve clients by helping them become career problem solvers and decision makers This new book from the authors of The Self-Directed Search and Related Holland Career Materials: A Practioner's Guide incorporates John Holland's RIASEC theory with cognitive information processing (CIP) theory. It studies four aspects of the career choice process: self-knowledge, options, decision making, and executive processing, or "thinking about thinking." The book is designed for professional counselors, psychologists, career development facilitators, career guidance technicians, librarians, social workers, and graduate students learning to be career counselors. It strives to help professionals better serve their clients by helping them become career problem solvers and decision makers, which can have an impact on their ability to make good career decisions. The text provides case examples and includes resources that can be reproduced for training purposes. Integrating CIP theory can make using the SDS a more productive experience, and this book helps practitioners with that process.
