In 2000 he received the Distinguished Senior Contributor Award from the American Psychology Association for his lifetime contributions to counselling psychology. In 2001 he won the Stu Conger Award for lifetime leadership in career counselling and career development from the Canadian Career Development Foundation. And last month he was presented with an outstanding achievement award for his contributions to qualitative research by his colleagues and students at the International Human Science Research Conference in Victoria.
