Interpreting Career: Hermeneutical Studies of L. Young, Young, Collin<|

Interpreting CareerHermeneutical Studies of Lives in Context\nAuthor(s): Audrey Collin, Richard A. Young\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, United States\nImprint: Praeger Publishers Inc\nISBN-13: 9780275939502, 978-0275939502\nSynopsis\nThis work reports on a range of research studies in the career field that use biographical, narrative, and ecological approaches within an interpretive framework. It responds to the recognized dissonance between career theory and research, on the one part, and practice, on the other. It also responds to the view that in recent years practice has outstripped career theory and research. The qualitative approaches used in the research reported have gained popularity in the social sciences in recent years, but have been largely untried in the career field.\n\nThis work offers specific interpretive studies that range over the life span and involve a number of perspectives including contexts such as parental influence, socio-political.
