Description
Summary:	Social and political commitment has a key role in the career counselling process, but it has not advanced with practical proposals so far. Through multiple case studies, this paper aims to propose discursive validation as an intermediate strategy for career counselling to foster narrative changes and social repositioning. Based on the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS), the effectiveness of discursive validation was assessed by the analysis of changes in the clients' personal narrative. The findings demonstrated emergence of innovative moments in the clients' narratives and social repositioning. The limitations and potentialities of the proposed model are also discussed.
