The purpose of this paper is to present a theory of career development drawn from current work in the physical and biological sciences, specifically work that is associated with chaos and complexity theories. The paper includes specific suggestions for practice based upon the theory and reflections of career professionals on its use. The theory and its applications can be used to help clients utilize principles of chaos and complexity, understand the unity underlying change, create new, satisfying forms and recognize the "strange attractors " that are the unique organizing linchpins of their lives.
