Reviews
... this is a carefully written book that offers well-framed arguments for applying biographical methods to research and practice. ... The book should be kept close at hand and its chapters considered and recognised as situations arise. European Journal of Social Work, The editors have performed a major task drawing together such a rich range of biographically informed research on a variety of professional contexts across differing national contexts ... very useful companion to P. Chamberlayne, M. Rustin and T. Wengraf (eds) (2002), Biography and Exclusion in Europe, Bristol: The Policy Press. Journal of Social Policy, By now, the 'biographical turn' in the social sciences is widely acknowledged but its impact in the main has been upon academics rather than professional practitioners. Biographical methods and professional practice makes an important and worthwhile contribution by demonstrating that the biographical perspective can be focused fruitfully upon applied, social policy issues both for research and for practice in the field. Robert Miller, Department of Sociology and Social Policy, Queen's University Belfast
