Abstract

The main topic of this book is the use of qualitative methods in what has become known as "reconstructive social pedagogy". "Reconstructive social pedagogy" is usually seen as a method but the authors show how to look at it from a different point of view. They perceive "reconstructive social pedagogy" as a paradigm named "narrative identity" and thereby create the opportunity to apply it in different contexts, e.g. in social work or social work science. They provide theoretical examples and explain possible methods by which to elaborate the paradigm. The examples they provide on how to look on narrative interview notes make this publication interesting not only for practitioners of social work but also for scientists and social work teachers. The authors use the conclusion to discuss central considerations, procedures and possible problems. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0803246
