Description: While counseling professionals recognize the lifestyle complexities of and competing demands on today's adults, their counseling approaches are still based on outdated conceptions of career and life patterns. Sunny Hansen is the acknowledged leader in transforming the field of counseling with her concept of integrative life planning, which connects career planning to the entire life of an individual, including the impact of family, spiritual values, gender, and life stages -- and enables counselors and their clients to develop career and life pathways that take a wide range of circumstances, needs, and aspirations into account. This is a pioneering book in the counseling field; in it, Hansen sets out the ILP concept in careful detail and discusses its ramifications for the profession and practice of counseling. This is a work that will have a considerable impact on both education and practice in career and personal counseling.
