Adams, Greeson, Kennedy, and Tolman (2013) examined the length to which teenage IPV effects women’s educational and economic development. The results reflect the association between educational attainment and socioeconomic status (SES), and show that the educational deficit stemming from adolescent IPV has additional negative impact on women’s earnings into adulthood. The findings have significance in two areas; (a) there is a need for IPV prevention and intervention programs to insure females’ educational attainment against the damages resulting from an abusive partner, (b) intervention strategies to address IPV survivors’ ongoing education and career development goals need to extend across the life course to continually help identify open …show more content…
Both interventions included S. D. Brown and Krane’s 5 most important career intervention components; (a) use writing to allow clients to make clear their career and life goals, (b) incorporate individualized feedback and resulting interpretation, (c) offer up to date information on the requirements for and the impact of considered career choices, (d) add role models that demonstrate successful uses of planning and coping strategies, and (e) assist clients in developing support networks that promote their pursuit of career goals. The only differing aspect between the 2 interventions is critical consciousness, which is defined as, a change in mentality that includes heightened awareness and transformative action or liberation behavior. This can be understood as one becoming more aware of self (identity), others (context), and the relationship between the two factors (power dynamics), thereby gaining insight into control and responsibility in one’s own life situations and strengthening commitment to change. The results show that five group sessions can precipitate improvement in abused women’s career-search self-efficacy and supported the potential of the incorporation of critical consciousness in helping women to attain their work-related goals, which in turn influences women to become more critically aware of the larger …show more content…
Contexts that influence development are made up of individual factors (temperament, biological influences), families, peer groups, physical location, public policies, socioeconomic conditions, and culture. Multiple contextual influences can be attended to by framing services around an ecological approach, creating career services that are accessible across the contexts in which IPV survivors exist. The research and community based career counseling services that are provided are done so through a collaborative partnership with a county domestic violence services agency with the intent to increase the accessibility to survivors, consider the impact of women’s IPV experiences, and to tailor address the population’s specific needs in the areas of identification and clarification of vocational aspirations, and the attainment career goals. Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) is used to inform (a) assessment of individual factors, contextual affordances, and life experiences have impacted what IPV survivors have learned about self and their abilities, (b) identification of a woman’s personal and career-related self-efficacy and outcome expectations, (c) how those
...nd incidence of such violence, there still seems to be gaps amongst the research that creates links to other aspects of IPV. By providing a further analysis of how women go from being the victim to the offender, it may create a more realistic understanding of why the recent intimate partner homicide/violence rates for women offenders has increased. Perhaps society needs to not see females as become more serious 'aggressors' and 'bad girls' but rather as women who are finally fighting back. By relating the social learning theory, the self defense theory as well as the male proprietariness theory to intimate partner violence it creates a more thorough understanding of the causes and affects of this form of violence. Conceivably, future directions of research on intimate partner violence should investigate the reasoning behind this new 'husband abuse' phenomenon.

Establishing a theoretical counseling orientation is an important step in developing professional identity. Theories provide counselors with explanations of human nature, help with conceptualizing clients’ problems and deliver procedural guidance in predicting clients’ change. Contemporary counselor is expected to be integrative and eclectic, drawing inspiration from many approaches. It is also my hope to synthesize a variety of concepts and a diversity of strategies from different theories and integrate them into a coherent, comprehensive perspective.
Barbara White, author of Women’s Career Development, gives an opportunity for successful women to give advice to other women wanting to pursue a career in the workforce. First, they explained that women need to be single-minded today. They must make their own choices and know what they want. If a woman hopes to achieve her goal of an ‘American Dream’ and live up to it, then she should be persistent and keep working at achieving her objectives. The best advice given in White’s book is that a woman should not underestimate herself (227-229). A woman today can be whatever she pleases. It takes work, dedication and persistence to achieve goals in general, not just in the career aspect of life. As seen through Joan Crawford and Dawn Steel’s stories, a ‘business woman’ has a bright future now and for years to come. Women’s roles have drastically changed throughout the past century along with the actual number of women now working. It is phenomenal to see such an increase in women’s participation, and hopefully this course will continue even higher into the twenty-first century.
Any number of vocational education programs have been targeted to solve the education and employment problems of the nations high-risk populations--the dropout prone, persons with disabilities, educationally and economically disadvantaged persons, and so forth. Some have realized successful outcomes; others have not. This publication examines vocational educations role in the success of high-risk populations.
People inherently have the power to solve their own problems and come to their own solutions. Clients are expected to play and active role in their own change by being open to expressing their problems,creating goals and ultimately evaluating their progress. Clients often use stories to explore their problems in preparation for deciding which goals they want to set and subsequently accomplish. Each client has specific issues and life experiences which the goal should reflect. Clients are expected to put great effort into discovering a desire that the client has deep convictions about and will commit to putting in the work it takes to change behaviors that are no longer working in their life. When the client discovers what they want to be changed it can become their goal. The goal needs to be important to the client and not something that someone else wants them to change. When ...
Women who experienced both child abuse and adult IPV and women who experienced adult IPV only were more likely to report chronic physical symptoms compared to women who had not experienced any violence.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is historically referred to as domestic violence. It describes a pattern of coercive and assaultive behavior that may include psychological abuse, progressive isolation, sexual assault, physical injury, stalking, intimidation, deprivation, and reproductive coercion among partners (The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF), 1999). IPV leads to lifelong consequences such as lasting physical impairment, emotional trauma, chronic health problems, and even death. It is an issue effecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. Eighty-five percent of domestic violence victims are women (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2003). More than one in three women in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2012). Thirty to sixty percent of perpetrators tend to also abuse children in the household (Edelson, 1999). Witnessing violence between parents or caretakers is considered the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next (Break the Cycle, 2006).
The counselor accomplishes the above by expressing empathy, developing discrepancies, going along with resistance and supporting self-efficacy. Moreover, the counselor guides the client toward a solution that will lead to permanent posi...
Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) is a relatively new theory that is aimed at explaining three unified aspects of career development: 1. how basic academic and career interests develop, 2. how educational and career choices are made, and 3. how academic and career success is obtained. The theory incorporates a variety of concepts that appear in earlier career theories and have been found to affect career development (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 2000).
The Relationship of Ethnic Identity, Career Decision-making Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectations Among Latino/a High School Students Reflection Social cognitive career theory is a theory created by Steven Brown, Gail Hackett, and Robert Lent, based on the concepts of Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory. In social cognitive career theory takes beliefs about one’s abilities, self-efficacy, and outcomes are part of some concepts examined in this theory. The Gushue (2006) study examined explored the relation of ethnic identity to two determinants of career interests identified by social-cognitive career theory (SCCT): self-efficacy and outcome expectations. The writer will take the results of the study and discuss the process of cultural competent counseling and recommend how career counselors can become culturally competent in order to counsel a population such as this. Culture is an important factor in the social-cognitive career theory as it contributes to beliefs.
Career counseling over the lifespan has more than an occupational focus, it deals with the person’s entire being with a vision that includes one’s lifespan. Career counseling takes into consideration character development, character skills, life roles, individual life and work history, goals, and obstacles. A career counselor not only assists a client with a career plan, but also with a life plan. This paper focuses on two categories of career counseling. The first focus is the history of career counseling as a field of study with the emphasis on when and why career counseling began (1800s as a study of how the shape of one’s head relates to vocational choice), who and what influenced it (Sizer, Parsons, and Davis), and how it has changed (from an individual/community vocational view to an individual/world lifespan view). The second focus is on the application of career counseling by researching two leaders, John Holland’s and Donald Super’s, contributions to career counseling, their theories and assessments and on the biblical aspects of career counseling and how each theory relates to the Bible.
The career services professional supports the educational mission of a college by assisting students to develop, evaluate, and pursue career aspirations with the goal of securing employment. Career services professionals accomplish these goals with a range of programs, counseling and services designed to help students make the connection between the academic environment and the workplace. Career Counseling, or Career Services depending on the institution, is frequently offered on a one-on-one basis, but at times this service is provided through group workshops, classes, or computerized guidance systems. Traditionally a standard function of the career services role is to help students develop job search skills however the scope of the career development services has broadened considerably in recent years (Komives, Woodard, & Associates, 2003, p. 344). Career services professionals may teach resume writing, critique students' resumes and cover letters, provide resources on resume and employment letter writing, job interviewing skills, and planning job search strategies.
They also concern with career adjustments people make over time. The career development theories are of great value for teacher and counsellor because they need to seek constantly for insight into the reasons that stimulate students to make certain career choices. Only by doing so, they will be able to understand and help them. Researches have been conducted in an attempt to develop systematic theory of career development so that the students can get proper guidance. According to Johnson (2000), Career development theories can be grouped into two categories: Structural and Developmental.
