Abstract

BARROS, Alexandra Figueiredo de. Vocational psychology challenges: theories and interventions in an era of uncertainty. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.2, pp. 165-175. ISSN 1984-7270.

The aim of the present article is to analyze the challenges of Vocational Psychology to face uncertainty and unpredictability of individual careers in an economic context of change and globalization. Theories of career development that have a major impact on career related issues are summarized and analyzed to address the multiplicity of needs of a growing diversity of clients. We suggest the importance of coping with those new challenges, expanding the goals, resources and techniques used with each client, in a way compatible with a vision of career guidance and counseling as a learning process of dealing with the unavoidable transitions during the life-span.

Keywords : career guidance; globalization; career development.
