Abstract

This chapter presents the case study of an operator of an employment office in Tuscany who participated in a life meaning intervention and completed two new qualitative instruments, the Life Adaptability Qualitative Assessment (LAQuA) and the Career Counseling Innovative Outcomes (CCIO), before and after the intervention. The intervention posed questions and reflection about the sources of meaning in her personal life and work to assist her in identifying the principal and meaningful pathways for her future. The evaluation of the life meaning intervention using the LAQuA and CCIO is discussed in this chapter. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the life meaning intervention in helping the employee to increase her self-awareness in terms of her deeply held values and life meaning.
