Narrative Interventions in Post-modern Guidance and Career Counseling

Abstract

This chapter sets out a new approach for individual counseling to analyze work and consider career prospects. First, the importance of research into health at work is presented, and then a new method to analyze risks and resources at work is proposed. This method is based on a questionnaire of 156 items, measuring 29 scales and 3 factors: the QERPS. The outcomes are then presented in a stepwise process. A case study is used to demonstrate the relevance of the method to the analysis of work and career management. The conclusion addresses the theme of risks and labor resources in the context of individual counseling.
