Abstract

Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) is an appropriate framework for conceptualizing career development among adults with psychiatric disabilities, but few practical ideas have been provided in professional literature for intervening within this framework. In order to translate client interests into realistic goals, vocational rehabilitation counselors should explore both the work-related self-efficacy beliefs and the perceived employment barriers experienced by these individuals. Research supports the use of interventions and assessments that target the population of interest and the specific task or domain of interest. Examples of interventions specific to individuals with psychiatric disabilities will illustrate the practical application of SCCT within appropriate context and population considerations by integrating aspects of the theory.
