Going Beyond Traditional Career Development Theories: Individualizing Counseling Using Cognitive Stage and Experiential Learning Theories

Elizabeth F Turesky, Leigh Gronich Mundhenk

Abstract

William Perry’s cognitive stage development and David Kolb’s experiential learning theories provide complementary theoretical frameworks, that when used with traditional career development theories, provide a holistic approach to career counseling. In this article the authors explain how these theories can be used to better understand their clients’ developmental needs in order to individualize the career development process.
