The turn to biographical methods in social science is yielding a
rich harvest of research outcomes and invigorating the relationship
between policy and practice. This book uses a range of interpretive
approaches to reveal the dynamics of service users' and
professionals' individual experiences and life-worlds. It shows how
biographical methods can improve theoretical understanding of
professional practice, as well as enrich the learning and
development of professionals, and promote more meaningful and
creative practitioner-service user relationships. Biographical
methods and professional practice: reviews applications of
biographical methods in both policy and practice in a range of
professional contexts, from health and social care to education and
employment; explores the impact on professional practice of social
change in three main arenas: transformation from Eastern to Western
types of society in Europe, major shifts in social and welfare
principles, experiences of immigration and of new cultural
diversities; critically evaluates subjective and reflexive
processes in interactions between researchers, practitioners and
users of services; considers the institutional arrangements and
cultural contexts which support effective and sensitive
interventions and which support and encourage change in the lives
of individuals. With contributions from leading international
experts, it provides a valuable comparative perspective.
Researchers, policy analysts and practitioners, postgraduate
students, teachers and trainers will find this book a stimulating
read.
