This chapter describes the historical background, core principles, practical applications, and research findings in support of life-span, life-space career theory and counseling. Life-span, life-space theory comprises a creative synthesis of ideas and evidence culled from seemingly disparate theories and lines of research assembled along three primary segments: the longitudinal or chronological, developmental life span; the latitudinal or contextual, psychosocial life space; and the self and self-concepts. As the life-span, life-space approach has ranked among the dominant theories of career choice and development for over 60 years, so too has it prompted a wealth of empirical research about its propositions and principles. Literature reviews have both supported and advanced self-concept as important in career development and career intervention. REFERENCES Adams , G. A. , & Rau , B. L. ( 2011 ).
