Abstract

This article reports on integrative career counselling provided to a creative young man selected purposefully. An explorative, descriptive, instrumental, single case-study approach was followed, and two recently developed questionnaires (one qualitative and one quantitative) were used to collect the data. A career construction counselling intervention comprising assessment and (meta-) reflective dialogues on the participant's elicited career-life story was conducted. The intervention involved elicitation of the participant's career-life story, authorisation of the story, and facilitation of action (forward movement). The participant's need was met for "different" career counselling. The intervention helped the participant to celebrate and draw on his sense of creativity. Multiple case and quantitative studies are needed on the topic as well as more longitudinal research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
