abstract

The aim of this study was to examine what changes occurred in a career construction interview (CCI), what elements contributed to these changes and how reflexivity was fostered. Two clients and two counselors participated in interpersonal process recall (IPR) interviews (Larsen, Flesaker, & Stege, 2008) to review CCI interviews they had previously participated in. The CCI was reported based on the construction and reconstruction that took place during the interview. The IPR interviews were analyzed qualitatively by means of the grounded theory method. Then the two CCI's were submitted to literary analysis based on Greimas's narrative semiotics (Vilhjálmsdóttir & Tulinius, 2009) in order to determine whether and in what way the counselor missed something during the interview. The article concludes that the CCI is very effective but could be made even more so if the counselors received more training in literary analysis, more specifically narrative semiotics.

4. Discussion

The conclusion of this inquiry is therefore that all three of our research questions have been answered positively. Nevertheless, these positive answers need to be qualified. The two case-studies show that using the CCI method does bring forth change in the counselee and that it is brought about by the intrinsic characteristics of the method itself. Reflexivity has been fostered in both counselee's. However, it would seem that one-hour sessions tend to be too short for the counselor to extract all the relevant information from the narrative material provided by the counselee. This is even more apparent when the counselor has comparatively little experience in using CCI. Familiarity with narrative semiotics is finally shown to be a good tool for the counselor in his efforts to help his client construct a meaningful story out of the varied and rich material the client has given to him. It is especially useful in helping the counselor discover what the client is telling him without necessarily being conscious of it.
