The author implemented a case study design and purposively selected the participant. The intervention and follow-up occurred over a period of 21 months, and the Career Construction Interview (CCI; Savickas, 2011a) was used to gather data. Savickas‟s 8-step strategy was followed to complete the participant‟s life portrait. After the intervention, the participant demonstrated an improved sense of self and willingness to deal more adaptively with careerlife- related challenges. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of this kind of intervention and to show its applicability in group contexts.en© 2016 National Career Development Association.
