Abstract
The concept of vocational script development is discussed as a narrative developmental and interpretive paradigm. The paradigm is considered central to satisfaction with retirement from active employment and is convergent with several theoretical perspectives. Personality and adult development theory, constructivist approaches, and vocational psychology/career development approaches support the concept of script as a therapeutic tool. Current ideas within these theories advance the application of script theory to retirement planning research and counseling. The response of employed people to retirement routine and activity is conceived of as further development of the vocational script, with implications for theorists, practitioners, and researchers.
