Abstract
This research attempts to develop a personal theory of career and guidance counseling. In order to effectively accomplish this task, the writer feels that it is important to consider a review of pertinent career/vocational and career guidance counseling theories that have shaped the development of this field in recent years. The paper notes that through a comprehensive review of these theories, it will then be possible to integrate theory to provide a more integral understanding of one's personal orientation towards the practice. The paper reports that a critical review of theories that can be employed in this field will elucidate the wide scope of methods that are available for professional development. The paper concludes that if changes in practice are needed, a clear understanding of theory will provide a solid basis for decision making in this area.

My Personal Theory of Career and Guidance Counseling
From the Paper
"What is perhaps most important about both Holland's typology and person-environment theories in general is that they take the needs of the individual into consideration when providing service to the client. As reported by Miller, Springer and Cowger (2004) person-environment theories draw on ideas of congruence in which the unique needs of the individual must be matched with the unique needs of the environment. When congruence is achieved in this context, it will be possible for the individual to garner considerable satisfaction from his or her career choice. Thus, by applying this theory, the counselor can create a comprehensive assessment that will provide the client with a meaningful understanding of how well his or her personal needs will be met in a particular environmental context (Miller, et al., 2004). Given that counselors have a clear obligation to ensure positive outcomes for clients, this approach appears to provide a salient tool for achieving this goal."

Abstract
The paper provides an explanation of computer-assisted career guidance systems (CACGSs), their characteristics, and usage. An analysis of the history of computer-assisted career guidance is also provided. A discussion of the explanations of various scholars about the progress of CACGS over the years is reviewed, along with the various types of CACGS. The writer introduces the SIGI PLUS program, as well as the ?DISCOVER? system. This is followed by an explanation of the dilemmas of compute- assisted career guidance systems (CACGSs) and an analysis of the ethical issues of the system. Implementation problems relating to the Computer assisted Career Guidance system are discussed. The unique capabilities of computers in preserving and retrieving wide range of information on occupational structure and guidance are also mentioned, as well as the enhancement of the quality and quantity of counseling system with computer assistance. The current developments in the area are introduced, including what is in store for the future for computer-assisted career guidance systems. The paper concludes with a remark about computer-assisted career guidance systems.
From the Paper
"The characteristics of CACG comprises definite content and process components of career-decision making for instance distinctive work responsibilities for a vocation or the potential to observe two occupational description at the same time. Computers can for sure assist in giving the information necessary to take decisions. Through the use of computers, total and also easily retrievable data files on various vocations can be obtained. Hence, computers can give the necessary information to formulate what Parsons marked as actual reasoning. Truly, information relating to the transforming career market and resources for training might be given in a better manner by the computers because of the vast quantity of career information a career counselor will have to collect to be helpful. (Katz, & Shatkin, 1983)"

Abstract
Career counseling, from the outside, appears to be little more than an established network of people who maintain binders of job postings and help people with tips about interviews. At the high school level, they are seen as the people who carry binders of college materials and help students fill out applications and write essays. These misconceptions do a significant injustice to the field of career guidance, for they miss the entire point of what it is that the career counselor does. Helping a person discover what it is that they want to define their life with and helping them achieve that goal requires the analytical skills of a psychologist, the patience of a priest and the business eye of a CEO. At the core of career guidance are schools of philosophy and thought which center upon the work of scholars the like of John Holland and Donald and Ann Roe. It is the purpose of this paper to explore these two theories of career guidance and to find their common and uncommon ground.

Abstract
This qualitative case study explores the opinions of teachers at the K-12 level with respect to the role of school guidance counselors before and after implementation of the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) model K-12. The researcher predicts that teachers will realize a difference in the attitudes of school guidance counselors and some positive change in student outcomes resulting from the implementation of the ASCA program. The reasons for this are varied. The writer points out that many researchers of note claim that school guidance counselors have made little progress in implementing their initiatives especially given the fact that new educational reforms repeatedly put their needs on the back burner.

From the Paper
"However, despite this gloom review of the ASCA program, the program itself has caused teachers and other administrators to recognize how relevant the input of school guidance counselors is and can be toward student education. It is vital school educators realize the importance of cooperation and collaboration between school guidance counselors and the parents, teachers and leaders of the community.
"While progress may be small, the researcher knows progress will be achieved especially if more emphasis is given the needs of school guidance counselors in contemporary society. School guidance counselors are no longer a mediocre group within the educational system. They are inextricably linked to the successes and failures of new educational protocols, teacher-student relationships, student-community relationships and the overall outcome of students in the traditional and contemporary educational society."

Teachers and School Guidance Counselors, 2008.
A qualitative case study approach to evaluating and comparing the perceptions of teachers on the role of the school guidance counselor before and after implementation of the American school counseling association model (asca) K-12.

Abstract
The paper discusses a study which is a comparison of teacher perspectives of the role of school guidance counselors before and after implementation of the American School Counseling Association Model (ASCA). Prior to the introduction of this model for counseling, there were no standards available nationally that examined the efficacy of school guidance counseling programs (USDOE, 2001). The U.S. Department of Education however, has worked to devise tools and methods that providers can use to measure the progress of students and support systematic improvement of curriculum and learning in and outside of the classroom.This research proposes that to facilitate exploration of the American School Counseling Association Model, it is necessary to use a qualitative case study to explore the subject.

From the Paper
"Goals of the program include providing a more complete model for guidance counselors through which they can reach out and assist any and all students, which may prevent failure in the academic setting, and which may become integral to student's success. Delivery systems proposed by the ASCA model include devising a curriculum for school counseling, encouraging students to plan their educational, social and career path individually, and providing support and response to student queries. To oversee student planning guidance counselors are to use a specific curriculum or criteria, which Burmaster (2007) suggests is the "vehicle" through which information can "systematically" be delivered to students and enable growth and achievement."

"Counseling and Guidance
Introduction
Health counseling and guidance in the educational setting involves coordinating a number of different concerns for the assessment of student problems and for intervention strategies to cope with these problems. School health counseling is indirect rather than direct, providing a consultative role more frequently than the traditional one-to-one counseling more suited to providing aid to mature individuals. This does not mean that such counseling precludes individual interventions, but these are usually secondary to the larger needs of the student population as a whole and to the desire on the part of the counselor to serve those needs through a strong program of,..."

Abstract
This paper examines the emotional scarring that children undergo as a result of abusive or neglectful parents. It follows with a look at their lives and it concludes with specific examples of parental abuse and its impact on the children's lives as adults.
From the Paper
"Anais Nin on the other hand went through different though equally disturbing experiences as a child, revealed in her book, Dairy of Anais Nin. She, like Nash, grew up in a family where father was the culprit. Her parents had an abusive relationship and fighting was a regular feature of their troubled marriage. He proved to be anything but a good father when he would openly make sexual advances to Anais and would regularly spank the children. Despite occasional periods of apparent tranquility, the family hardly ever felt harmony and real peace because Anais' parents would argue incessantly. This had a bad impact on Anais who it is believed developed psychological problems, as she often experienced bouts of depression, which she was able to overcome with the passage of time. Though her personal journals and dairies were received well by the public, she was nonetheless accused of lying in her diaries by some of her critics."

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends that just as people use the bible and tales from Greek mythology as guides for moral behavior, Arthurian codes of chivalry can also be used as such a source. This paper lists the 10 basic rules of chivalry and compares them to the 10 commandments. This paper defines chivalry as a set of ideals and duties that changed throughout the middle ages to meet new socio-economic realities. Chivalric virtues were a clear distillation of what it meant to be a fine human being as well as a person in search of justice and humility.
Topics covered in this report include:
Chivalry
The Code of Chivalry
Bibliography
From the Paper
"To be honorable means to treat other people fairly and to keep our word when we promise something. It also means that we are willing to admit our mistakes and ask forgiveness. We don't attempt to cover up mistakes and hope no one notices. First, we tell the other person without mincing words that we have screwed up and that we will do what we can to correct the matter. Then we ask for forgiveness without expecting it. Finally, we take whatever comes. To be courageous is easy when no one else is involved. It is when we have to deal with other people that we sometimes get terrified and run. But to have courage (to be brave) does not mean that we don't have fear."

"Introduction
According to Nancy Perry (1997), head of the American School Counselor Association, it was Sputnik that was responsible for altering the role of the school guidance counselor. This started a process that has made the job of the school counselor almost impossible because of so many different expectations. School counselors were expected to get students to major in math and science, then they were given administrative and clerical responsibilities, along with testing responsibilities, and responsibilities for dealing with social problems.
In order to address the continuing problem of delimiting, and standardizing the role of the school counselor, the ASCA set forth a set of national standards in 1997, although it is still up to the individual.."

Abstract
This paper looks at the role of the high school career developer and explains that the main function of this role is to create a connection between a student's education and her employment future. Counselors need to make the student's academic career appealing and applicable to prepare them mentally for their life prospects. The paper specifically describes the processes that the high school career developer should follow in order to allow students to focus on a specific career path and acquire the vital skills required for their chosen occupation. The paper concludes that mentors, educators, counselors, and parents are all vital to the process of helping young people begin their career paths and that this process is not one that should begin at the exiting phase of high school, but should be integrated into every level of the child's academic career. The guidance should begin at the first bell, of each day the child attends school and continue throughout her academic career.

"Some of the strategies aiding those with disabilities in gaining self-advocacy skills are improving their listening skills, asking questions or for help when needed, being assertive and developing decision-making skills. Role-playing helps the students practice real world situations, such as scheduling events and activities, moving out of the home, requesting accommodations, meeting with a rehabilitation counselor or social service caseworker, as well as medical providers and finally conducting mock interviews."

Technical Training, 2008.
This paper discusses vocational training and its benefits.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that today's society is leaning toward career and technical schools where they prepare individuals for today's job market. The paper discusses the merits of technical training that takes the place of college for the many high school graduates who lack the confidence and discipline to pursue their education at a university. The paper relates that many technical schools offer smaller classrooms, hands on training, career guidance, short term training, resume preparation, mock interviews, and job placement assistance.
From the Paper
"College is not for everyone; therefore, technical training may be the best choice for the many high school graduates and college dropouts that lack the confidence and discipline that is necessary to pursue their education at a four to six year university. With added responsibilities, graduation from a traditional university is often a lifetime away and an immature individual may not be prepared for the real world. Doctors of Psychology, James Oelshlager and Robyn Coombs, state that "college students may experience a significant degree of stress as the result of these same developmental opportunities. Previous research has shown that college students report a higher rate of suicidal ideation than non-college students" ("Suicide and College Students"). Students become overwhelmed when they are away from home for the first time in their lives because they are faced with the reality that their parents are, not always, going to take care of their every need. All of a sudden they have to take care of their finances, laundry, cleaning, meals, and manage their time between school and work. Unfortunately, having feelings of distress can lead to suicide and for these individuals it is much easier to make a smooth transition into adulthood through a career school."

Development Stages and School Counseling, 2006.

Abstract
School guidance counselors are often caught in the middle of a conundrum: school is supposed to prepare one academically for the future, but how do you figure out why the child is not progressing? Failure to learn is not always equated to not being academically inclined. By looking to other developmental factors, the school guidance counselor can achieve a more salient set of results per student or student group than by just focusing on academic performance as reported by teachers and grades. This paper highlights the role of various developmental theories with a discussion of their applicability for the school guidance counselor. While the focus on this paper is primarily young teens/early adolescents and middle school guidance counselors, other developmental stages are also identified that apply to younger or older individuals.

?Emma?, 2002.
A discussion of Emma's guidance through life in Jane Austen's novel ?Emma?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews Jane Austen's ?Emma?, a didactic novel whose chief lesson is that, although society as it was constituted at the time was well ordered, it was up to the individual to make more or less of her/his position within that order. It examines how Emma Woodhouse, with all her advantages, was simply not ready to marry until she learned how to learn, although conventionally Emma was fully ready to marry. Emma was unready because she was unable to accept guidance. The paper analyzes the guidance she receives from Mr. Knightley and others and how she learns to be a lady during the course of the novel.
From the Paper
"But the model of the lady Emma is to become does not exist at Highbury. There are a number of women who should either function as models or be fellow pupils in the art along with Emma but none of them suffices: not Miss Bates, Mrs. Elton, Mrs. Weston, Harriet Smith, nor even Jane Fairfax. In part this is the result of circumstance. Emma's mother is dead and her sister, never a strong influence, lives far away. Mrs. Weston was always "a rational, unaffected woman" as Knightley notes, but as Miss Taylor, Emma's governess and companion, she had been more dedicated to pleasing Emma, as he also notes, than to curbing her independence (Austen 11).
