The process of making professional decisions is a unique non-linear journey for each individual, characterized by evolving and alternating paths filled with multiple transitions. It can be seen as a journey that carries a positive outlook and favorable conditions or unpredictable changes.

Career guidance today is called to support individuals in their "journey" of career decision-making, empowering self-control, initiative, and autonomy in managing their choices.

This collective volume addresses a wide range of contemporary issues related to career guidance and professional decision-making, with suggestions and recommended guiding practices presented at the end of each chapter concerning the connection of theory, research, and practical application, so that the reader can utilize what they have learned from the study of these topics in practice.

The idea behind the many pages of this book is to communicate to all interested parties, students, career counselors working in the field of adolescent and adult education and/or with vulnerable social groups and/or in the area of mental health, as well as those preparing to enter the field of career guidance that the process of career decision-making is one of the most important topics addressed by the scientific field of career counseling and career guidance.
