- Interventions of the counselling services aim to increase clients’ abilities to
solve problems and make decisions regarding their own career. - Dysfunctional thoughts drastically limit clients’ capacity to learn how to
solve problems and make decisions. - People who seek counselling may have certain dysfunctional thoughts which
undermine their problem-solving and decision-making abilities. - The more serious the level of dysfunctional thoughts, the greater the
obstacles in career-related problem-solving and decision-making; moreover,
one dysfunctionality alone may have a negative impact on the whole process. - Both the decided and the undecided clients with certain dysfunctional
thoughts will have difficulties in career-related problem-solving and
decision-making, but the undecided will be consumed by it. - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts will affect the information processing
pyramid by: limiting the quality, quantity and accuracy of self-knowledge;
reducing the quantity of information about occupations; acquiring decision-
making abilities. - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts will affect the CASVE cycle by:
problem denial, discontinual and inadequate actions in decision-making. - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts may cause people to avoid these
categories of problems or inadequately engage in solving them (anxiety,
delay, addiction, random choices, repeated occupation change, reducing the
exploration behaviour in the realm of occupations, deformed self-image,
isolation, stereotypical reactions, lack of satisfaction and self-confidence). - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts represent the source of other negative
thoughts about family, relationships with friends or generally social
relationships. - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts induce negative thoughts about
learning at home, in school, at the workplace or in other social contexts by an
incomplete or mystified interpretation and information of the occupations
data on occupations. - Career-related dysfunctional thoughts may be identified and modified in the
process of problem-solving and decision-making. - The tendency to have sporadic negative thoughts about choosing a career is
part of the process of cognitive learning; persisting in these negative thoughts
is part of a rigid reaction structure which can be recognized through by
learning about self. - People who have career-related dysfunctional thoughts may be involved in
reducing and changing these thoughts through assisted learning and
practicing problem-solving and decision-making.”
