Advancing Social Justice in Vocational Theory, Research, and Practice
Borgen, Fred H.
Counseling Psychologist, v33 n2 p197-206 Mar 2005
David Blustein, Ellen Hawley McWhirter, and Justin Perry present a social justice agenda for action in vocational psychology in their article "An Emancipatory Communitarian Approach to Vocational Development Theory, Research, and Practice." They build on robust work in counseling psychology over recent decades by using the critical work of Isaac Prilleltensky as a fulcrum for advancing this agenda. Much of their case effectively argues that we should move beyond tradition to improve the working lives of our clients. While their arguments are powerful, I suggest several ways to expand their discourse.
