A career counsellor using the narrative approach would primarily encourage a client to:
Answer: Tell the story of their life and identify dominant themes to construct a career narrative
Narrative career counselling (Savickas) helps clients find meaning and direction by constructing a coherent life-career story from their autobiographical themes.
Group cohesion is best described as:
Answer: The sense of belonging, trust, and attraction that members feel toward the group
Cohesion is Yalom's 'therapeutic alliance' equivalent for groups—the bond of trust and belonging that enables members to take interpersonal risks and benefit from treatment.
A client states they would love to be an artist but 'people like me don't do that.' This is best understood through which career theory?
Answer: Gottfredson's circumscription and compromise
Gottfredson's theory explains how individuals self-censor career options based on perceived social class and gender roles, making the client's statement a classic example of circumscription.
Which of the following is an ethical concern unique to group counselling that is less prominent in individual counselling?
Answer: Maintaining confidentiality among group members
While all ethical principles apply in group work, confidentiality is uniquely challenging because the counsellor cannot guarantee that other members will not disclose what is shared in the group.
Krumboltz's Planned Happenstance Theory encourages career counsellors to help clients:
Answer: Recognize and capitalize on unplanned events as opportunities for career growth
Planned Happenstance reframes unplanned events as potential career opportunities, teaching clients curiosity, flexibility, and optimism as career skills.
During the termination stage of a counselling group, the leader's primary task is to:
Answer: Help members consolidate learning, process endings, and transfer gains to life outside the group
Effective termination involves facilitating consolidation of therapeutic gains, processing the emotional experience of ending, and supporting transfer of learning to daily life.
