Amundson, Norman E.
Journal of Employment Counseling, v43 n1 p31 Mar 2006
This article uses the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (L. F. Baum, 1900) as a metaphor for exploring career counseling issues related to self-deception, loss, and the search for the "all-knowing" expert. The dynamics of the story can be applied to both counseling practice and counselor training. Cross-cultural issues are also considered.
