Overview
This book presents Dr. Chope's continuing research on how family of origin, family of creation, and "second family" issues significantly influence career decision making. Not just a research review, this book is replete with case examples and career stories drawn from Chope's 40+ years of career counseling practice. A multitude of activities and exercises that emphasize key concepts and assist the reader in acquiring new insights and skills are also provided. Of particular interest is the inclusion of a section on how continuing advances in social networking are affecting not only communications and interactions among family members and friends, but also career decision making and the job search process.
