Abstract

Theories of career choice and development have exerted an active force on vocational research and counseling practice for more than 40 years. As the major theories have evolved, the influence of some diminished, while those remaining influential have come to resemble each other in important ways. This paper analyzes these similarities in order to determine whether the field is moving toward an integrated theory. The analysis leads to the conclusion that commonality exists in many major ways, but that some important differences between the theories remain and are useful for specific populations and purposes.
