DI DOMENICO, Cristina  y  VILANOVA, Alberto. Vocational guidance: origin, evolution and current state. Orientac. soc. [online]. 2000, vol.2, pp.47-58. ISSN 1851-8893.

The socio-professional sources of the vocational guidance are reviwed, in the world and in Latin America. It stands out that psychology, as science and as a profession, possesses vigorous links to this practice that, however, tends to its epistemic and praxic emancipation in some nations. The contemporary prob­ lems of the guidance are presented in their economic, politics, cultural and pro­fessional dimensions.
