Career Development and Systems Theory: A New Relationship

In a groundbreaking departure from traditional career counseling texts, authors Wendy Patton and Mary McMahon have developed a comprehensive book that uses General Systems Theory to unify the many approaches to career development. More holistic than a simple theory-by-theory overview, more relevant than any single-theory approach alone, this text not only illuminates this field of study but also advances it. Relevant examples throughout the book help the reader see how career education and career counseling are influenced by research and practice.
