Theoretical Contributions:

• The importance of identifying one's own motivations in achieving success - and the realization that many people are avoidant or unable to say what their motivations are.  Hence the importance of focusing on the concrete details of the person's life, and of the here and now in helping the client to realize this and then to take advantage of this self-knowledge.
• Importance of "secure base" from which to explore careers and people, and (Adler) importance of encouragement from family/friends
• Addressing inner conflict with making career choices
• Importance of early childhood experiences
• Jungian "God" in helping direct self towards work they love
