Other disciplines offer new perspectives, concepts, and models that would help vocational psychology reinvigorate itself. The paper identifies contributions (such as narrative) that post-modern sources and scientific disciplines could make, though with reservations about importing ideas from the physical sciences into the social sciences. There would also be challenges for vocational psychology, primarily to its core values as a science but those could change over time. As an example, the paper then discusses how some of the lessons of narratology could enrich post-modern approaches, while its structuralism could enable vocational psychology to take advantage of the potential contributions of narrative.read more
