SOUZA, Laura Vilela e  e  SCORSOLINI-COMIN, Fábio. Career counseling: a social constructionist appreciation. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.1, pp.49-60. ISSN 1984-7270.

The aim of this study was to address career counseling from a dialogical perspective, the social constructionism, that considers the self as both narrative and relational. In contrast with an approach based on the individual and their skills, we discussed how the counselor may, in the dialogue with their client, encourage the assumption of an identity as a narrative construction and as product of relational negotiation of meanings, implicating different guiding positions in order to understand a client's life and their future planning. Thus, social constructionism offers a proposal for intervention based on the building by the counselor-client dyad of new narratives about being a worker in continuous motion of broadening meanings and, hence, open to transformation.
