ABSTRACT Bereavement is a universal experience common within the higher education student population. The present study aimed to understand the experiences and support needs of bereaved Australian university students. In semi-structured interviews, 12 students (10 women, 2 men; M age = 38.13, SD = 15.37) shared their experiences of bereavement while studying. A thematic analysis resulted in three themes: Relationships between study and bereavement, Navigating the university system, and What students need. The findings highlighted varying levels of support accessed and level of need, which were influenced by the circumstances of the student and the loss, mode of study, personal resources, and perceptions of the university system’s ability to help. The findings highlight the need to develop and communicate clear policies and procedures so that bereaved students are supported.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a framework for understanding epistemic injustice in career development theory and practice. It is based on Fricker’s philosophical conceptualisation of epistemic injustice and its sub-forms of hermeneutical and testimonial injustice. The intention is to generate insights that direct us to injustices embedded in knowledge production and institutional practices that harm a person’s capacity as a knower. Moreover, the intellectual-ethical virtue of mitigating epistemic injustice and how this virtue can be enacted in the context of career guidance are discussed. I argue that epistemic justice approaches contribute to intellectual and ethical dimensions of social justice and there is a need to examine distinct forms of injustices of knowing manifested in the knowledge of career development and career guidance practice.

ABSTRACT The notion that scholars and practitioners of career development ought to direct their attention towards agency is axiomatic. However, there is little explicit discussion in the literature of how we might conceptualise agency to orient our work towards issues of social justice. Career work draws on a range of disciplinary theoretical perspectives and so, in conceptualising agency, we must address the foundational issue of adequately theorising the relationship between individual and social aspects of career. In this paper we present a critique of Archer’s work on agency as a basis for introducing Stetsenko’s post-Vygotskian “Transformative Activist Stance” as an ontology of persons and social life in which agency is meaningfully individual, ineluctably social, and continually directed towards bringing a desired world into being.

ABSTRACT Employing Oliver’s disconfirmation theory as a theoretical basis, we examined the relationships between school teachers’ attitudes, expectations and satisfaction with collaborating with school counsellors. Also, structural equation modelling was used to determine the effects of counsellors’ professional traits on teacher satisfaction. Stratified sampling yielded a sample of 395 homeroom teachers from 26 public schools in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, representing a 94.4% response rate. We found: (1) teachers were highly satisfied with their collaborations with school counsellors, (2) teachers’ collaborative attitudes and expectations were significant predictors of their satisfaction, supporting Oliver's theory, and (3) counsellor's professional traits significantly affected teachers’ collaborative attitudes, expectations, and satisfaction.

ABSTRACT In this paper, I address Jacque Lacan’s theory of the four discourses, namely, master/slave, university, hysteric and analyst. The four discourses are explored via interviews with five postgraduate business students from a leading Irish business school. Three of the students were prepared to abdicate responsibility for career decision-making to me, thereby suggesting the discourses of the master/slave and university. The remaining two students expected to retain greater control over the career decision-making process which implies a shift in position to the discourse of the analyst. I propose that career counselling should primarily reside in the discourse of analyst, with supporting reference to the discourses of hysteric, university and master/slave. Currently, there is no inclusion of Lacan in career theory.

ABSTRACT The sociodemographic and career-related characteristics of two types of youth who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in Hong Kong were examined and compared: longer-term (≥5 months, n = 787) and transitional (<5 months, n = 3,939). After controlling for sociodemographic variables, multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that longer-term NEETs are more likely to be associated with risk factors such as taking a carer role, seclusion at home, involvement in deviant activities, having addiction or health problems; whereas higher educational attainment, identification of career interest and plans for future work/study/ training, and higher career adaptability appeared to be protective factors for NEETs and identifiers of transitional NEETs. Implications are drawn for research and career support services for NEETs.

ABSTRACT This qualitative study in the US examined international counselling students’ experiences of social justice advocacy and their perceptions of advocacy development during their doctoral training in counsellor education. Twelve students described being multicultural advocates as a salient part of their identity, identified factors influencing their development toward becoming a multicultural advocate while studying in the US, and shared how they integrated social justice advocacy into this identity. Exposure to social injustice and cultural insensitivity through personal experience and/or interaction with underprivileged populations were significant in the development of participants’ advocacy orientation. Future researchers could explore how to maximise cross-cultural communication between international doctoral students and their programme faculty members to facilitate students’ professional development as multicultural advocates.

ABSTRACT The objective of our research is to analyse career dissatisfaction through the psychoanalytical lens of Jacques Lacan. Taking a multiple-case study approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven male, senior managers working in the highly competitive technology industry. We found that respondents are defining satisfaction against a socially constructed career system that obliterates the concept of an agentic self. By grounding our qualitative investigation in the research fields of career and career dissatisfaction in the under-researched realm of Lacanian theory, we extend career theory to include a psychodynamic lens. We also contribute to practice by providing an alternative approach to career counselling that encourages the client to co-construct a sense of liberation and empowerment.

ABSTRACT Careers advisers in schools are of great importance. In order for the counselling to be effective, a social capital-intensive relationship must be built up between adviser and student, characterised by trust and shared understanding of roles and expectations. The aim of this quantitative study is to investigate the influence of a student’s immigration status on the judgement of counselling by both adviser and student as well as its influence on the concordance between these judgements and on the development of this concordance over time. The results show that in general the judgement of counselling by both advisers and students was positive. However, there was a lower level of concordance between advisers and first-generation students than between advisers and native students.

ABSTRACT Self-compassion has been identified as a protective factor against body image concerns, but the relationship has not been explored in women in the menopausal transition, when body image perceptions may be particularly vulnerable. Women in the UK (N = 248) self-reported on levels of body appreciation, body preoccupation, self-compassion and mental distress. Correlation and mediation analyses were used. Results indicated that self-compassion was positively associated with body appreciation and negatively associated with body preoccupation. Mental distress mediated the relationships between self-compassion and body appreciation, and self-compassion and body preoccupation. Findings suggest that self-compassion is important to body image in women in the menopausal transition, and having good mental health can enhance these pathways.
