Career Construction Counseling With a Mid-Career Black Man

Career construction counseling for a mid-career Black man is examined. The author implemented a case study design and purposively selected the participant. The intervention and follow-up occurred over a period of 21 months, and the Career Construction Interview (CCI; Savickas, ) was used to gather data. Savickas's 8-step strategy was followed to complete the participant's life portrait. After the intervention, the participant demonstrated an improved sense of self and willingness to deal more adaptively with career-life-related challenges. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of this kind of intervention and to show its applicability in group contexts.
