| Summary: | In his new book, 'The Clinical Practice of Career Assessment: Interests, Abilities, and Personality," Rodney L. Lowman discusses and integrates the three areas he considers to be the most important in career assessment: interests, abilities, and personality. There is a balance between the theoretical and the applied in Lowman's discussion of career assessment. In addition to being easy to read, the book includes several case examples that describe, among other things, a midlife career changer, the incongruency between measured interests and actual occupation, and how to write feedback reports of the assessment process.
The model of career assessment I present here is called the interdomain career assessment model. /// This book is intended to introduce practicing psychologists and graduate students in psychology to the pleasures of a neglected area of clinical assessment. Career assessment is not neglected in the sense that psychologists are avoiding work in this area, but there is a need for the development of a more rigorous science and richer clinical literature.
