abstract

This article describes the processes of change that occur during career counseling based on the ‘making oneself self’ model (Guichard, 2008; Guichard, 2009). This counseling intervention process forms part of the more general paradigm of life designing (Savickas et al., 2009). The main goal for this counseling is fostering “reflexivity” of individuals with regard to their investment in their various spheres of life. Three career counseling interviews were conducted using both methods of dialogues for life and career design dialogues (LCDD) and self-confrontation (Larsen, Flesaker, & Foundation, 2008; Valach, Michel, Dey, & Young, 2002). Each interview is described with a focus on the changes perceived by the interviewees in relation to their initial reason for consulting as well as on their dialogues with the counselor, who facilitated these changes and provided support for them. The analysis of the dialogues suggests the existence of a three-step evolution supporting the changes. On the basis of these data, the discussion examines the reflexive approach in its theoretical, methodological and practical dimensions.

5. Discussion

The purpose of this analysis was to describe the changes that occur during LCDD regarding the main career concerns of the three participants. The analyses show how these changes follow three common movements that may be explained by the framework of the making oneself self-model. A first exploration leads to the co-construction with the counselor of a mapping of the DYSSIF. During this first step, the exploration of the life domains induces a concentration on dimensions that progressively appear as potential resources to the participant (The “favorable environment” of Ms. K, the “regaining of her time” of Ms. C, and the “fear of a monotonous life” of Mr. S). These highlighted dimensions are embodied in the dialogues. They become meaningful during the dialogues with regard to the career concern.
