Technologically Enriched and Boundaryless Lives: Time for a Paradigm Upgrade
Gore, Paul A., Jr.; Leuwerke, Wade C.; Krumboltz, John D.
Counseling Psychologist, v30 n6 p847-857 2002
Computers and other communication technologies have irrevocably changed the nature of work, the workforce, and interpersonal relationships. This article suggests that these changes have resulted in a blurring of the distinction between life roles and an increase in feelings of meaningless and isolation. The authors argue that the dissolution of boundaries between life roles and the emotional sequelae of the digitization of our culture support a paradigm that reintegrates counseling and vocational psychology. Future counseling psychologists will be better equipped to provide services to clients whose lives are enriched and complicated by technology only if counseling psychology educators are able to provide them with the knowledge and skills to do so.
