An Existential View Of Vocational Development

The paper is an attempt to point out that the literature of existential philosophy has produced a meaningful theory of vocational development. The theory not only appears to be cogent, but also lines up closely with current thinking in the field. The contrast with various authors is an attempt to illucidate through similarity the ultimate ramifications of the existential theory. An equally important aspect of this theory is that within it one discovers an explanation of work alienation. Finally, there is every reason to believe that the existentialists have produced only a small portion of the potential theoretical model.
