Toward a theory of vocational choice

Abstract

An adequate theory of vocational choice is proposed as a "necessary accompaniment to further significant progress in vocational guidance counseling." Current theories based upon economic and sociological factors are discussed. Psychoanalytic concepts are suggested as helpful variables. "The study of choice must take into account the psychological, economic, and social factors...." 24 references.
