Vocational Counselling and the Alienated Worker

Abstract

Those who are suffering from job alienation form one segment of the growing clientele that is seen for vocational counselling by occupational therapists. This article focuses on the socio-economic forces in our present society that produce alienation and their impact on the individual. The author hopes that this paper will foster an awareness of these issues and a consideration of their implications for occupational therapists engaged in counselling.
