Case Studies

Duane Brown

All contributors to this volume were asked to review the two
cases in this chapter and respond to several questions, including how
they would provide career counseling to the students described. The
questions posed to the contributors were:

What additional assessment data would you want as you

provide career counseling to K? To E? Why?

What additional background data would you solicit from K

and E as you began the career counseling process, if any?

Why would you want these data?

Are there specific cultural or gender issues that you would

want to address as you provided career counseling to K?

To E?

Based on the data presented, would you be concerned about

mental health issues in either case?

How would you proceed to provide career counseling to

K and E, using your theoretical explanation of career

development as the basis for your answer?

The Case of K

Here are the background data for this case.
