Abstract

In this study, the authors used case notes to classify client concerns that surfaced during career counseling with adults in a university‐sponsored community counseling center. A two‐stage classification system was developed and used to estimate the frequencies of occurrence for career and personal issues that surface during career counseling. The authors concluded that a substantial overlap exists between the content of career counseling and that of psychotherapy.
