What are some of the unintended consequences of working, and what are the implications of counseling those who have had a job loss with respect to these?
What will be an ideal response?
• Daily time structure that is devoted to working
• Shared experiences and interactions with cohorts and other individuals outside the nuclear family
• Opportunity to express purpose and goals of life
• Reinforcement of personal status and identity
• Participation in activities associated with work that is viewed as a necessity in the give and take of daily life.
• Implications:
o Counselors may need to help clients create a structure for their day. For example, if the client wants to find a new job, the day can be structured on specific job-searching activities (the job search becomes the client's new job).
o The counselor may need to help the client call on or develop a network to provide for shared experiences.
o The counselor helps the client express purpose and goals of life.
o The counselor helps the client redefine identity and personal status.
o The counselor helps the client, possibly through identifying volunteer or charitable opportunities, find ways to participate in the world.
