β¦ Synopsis
The main developments to date in the application of computers to careers guidance are reviewed. Brief descriptions are offered of developments in North America and in Europe generally, with a more detailed account of developments in Britain. The paper examines ways in which the relationship of computers to traditional guidance services can be conceived: as a tool, as an alternative, and as a change agent. Finally, some implications for the role of the careers counsellor are considered.
