Career Psychology in Australia: Where Is It and Where Does It Need to Go
No full textThis paper will review changing definitions and processes of career guidance, and will emphasise the need for a renewed approach in education and psychology programs to prepare graduates for career service provision. It will present this argument within the emerging context where a new relationship between career guidance and public policy is fostering a significant array of government interventions in the provision of career services. These initiatives have significantly increased the urgency of this agenda. Demands of a changing understanding of career It is unarguable that the demand for career development support is greater than ever before. The rise in practice of and concern for career guidance is due mainly to the complex changes in the traditional employment system, and consequent changes in our notions of career, education, and career guidance, changes which have also highlighted the need for a re-examination of career guidance practice (Patton, 2002; Watts, 1996). Watts emphasised the need for career guidance provision and the concept of career to change as they presently are “creatures of the industrial age ” (p. 4). Collin and Watts (1996) asserted that individuals need to regard themselves as self-employed, with career needing to be viewed as a lifetime progression of learning and work, something that is owned by the individual, viewed subjectively and not objectively. Within this framework,
Career Development Practice: A Renewal and Focus.
No full textWell-documented changes in the world of work have increased exponentially the importance of career guidance services. The career guidance field has taken up the challenges of renewed training of professionals, invigorated practices in relation to education programs, counselling and information, and engaged in extended and sustained thinking on the responses of the field to the changes. The career guidance field has been expanding the focus of its interventions and stressing the need to examine its development to date and the most appropriate directions for the future. For example, the International Association for Educational and Vocational Guidance conducted a conference in 1996 on the changing demands of career guidance and, in 2000, embarked on the development of a new journal. In 1999, a major international symposium held in Canada focused on career development and public policy (Hiebert & Bezanson, 1999), with work ongoing in 2001. New editions of major theoretical texts have been developed (Brown & Brooks, 1996; Osipow & Fitzgerald, 1996) and new texts featuring new theoretical formulations and the interplay between theory and practice also have been published (Patton & McMahon, 1999; Savickas & Walsh, 1996)
Understanding women’s working lives
No full textThe last 50 years have produced multiple changes in our understanding of the place of paid and unpaid work in women’s lives. A growing theoretical, research and practical literature attests to the attention being directed to the a broader understanding of women’s working lives. It is more than thirty years since the groundbreaking paper by Fitzgerald and Crites’ (1980) on the career psychology of women. Prior to that time women’s careers were seen as primarily home based or “in relation to” men’s careers. In 1975 Osipow had commented on the lack of usefulness of traditional theories of career behaviour for women in that several basic assumptions on which they were founded were not relevant. For example, traditional career theory is based on the assumption that an array of career choices is available to all individuals, who are in turn motivated to pursue their personal interests in making certain choices. A comment on the state of vocational psychology in relation to class made by Tyler in 1967 highlights the inadequacy of application to women: - "much of what we know about the stages through which an individual passes as he prepares to find his place in the world of work might appropriately be labelled the vocational development of white middle class males" (p. 62; original italics). Gilligan's (1979) classic article entitled "woman's place in man's life cycle" emphasised the restriction of many theories of psychology in understanding women's lives as they implicitly adopted male as norm and failed to account for the unique social and family situation of women and the related demands on them..

Interview with Helen Patton
No full textAn interview with Helen Patton of Macon County in which she discusses her family's history in the area as well as her personal history. Her ancestor, George Patton, settled in the Cartoogechaye Creek area when Cherokee Indian lands became available for purchase. The Patton family eventually owned approximately 350 acres which came to be known as Patton Valley. Ms. Patton attended Western Carolina Teachers College for two years and completed her Bachelor's degree at Peabody College. She continued her education by completing her Master's degree at the University of Chicago, and taught in the midwest for 40 years before returning to Macon County in 1981. Ms. Patton's father and aunt established a summer camp for girls in the 1920s, named Camp Taukeetah. They offered classes in art, nature study, dance, swimming and horseback riding. Cherokee Indians were invited to the camp to teach the girls about their culture and share folklore. The impact of the camp and tourists on the area is discussed. Local people would be hired to cook, clean and do laundry, while local produce and meat was purchased and horses were rented. Often, the families of the campers would stay in Macon County for the summer, also adding to the local economy. Ms. Patton believes there has been a definite change in tourism over the years stating that tourists used to come for extended periods, but now stay for just a few days or a weekend
