Pierce, L. Marinn; Gibbons, Melinda M.
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, v51 n1 p114-127 Apr 2012
Refugees are expected to determine how to integrate past experiences into their lives in a new culture. Constructivist approaches to counseling allow refugees opportunities to determine how to integrate these experiences into their future career choices. Refugee experiences throughout the resettlement process and a constructivist career counseling approach following resettlement are reviewed.
