A Critical Perspective of Contemporary Unemployment Policy and Practices
Blustein, David L.; Medvide, Mary Beth; Wan, Carol M.
Journal of Career Development, v39 n4 p341-356 Aug 2012
This article explores the challenges of unemployment via the lens of critical psychology. The conventional discourse on unemployment is critiqued, revealing ways in which conventional policies and practices serve to further marginalize the lives of the unemployed and impede the development of ethical, effective, and empathic individual interventions and structural changes. In the practice realm, the importance of inclusion of mental health treatments in work-based interventions is highlighted based on the prevalence of psychological problems as a direct outcome of unemployment. New directions in research and public policy emerging from a critical analysis of existing are also outlined.
