| Abstract: | Conclusion Despite these assertions, there has been considerable support for the relevance of Jung's work to women as well as men (Wehr,
1988; Downing, 1991). The framework that Levinson (1978) used to analyse his group of mid life men was useful in explaining
more fully the woman client in the case study. Mid life brings many challenges and career counsellors need to be equipped
to respond to their client's needs. As well as the appropriate skills, they require an appropritate theoretical framework.
As Seligman (1994) put it, “counsellors who treat adults contemplating a mid life career change as they would treat the adolescent
who is trying to formulate career plans will probably be unsuccessful and may well alienate the client” (p. 393). |
