This book uses a range of interpretive approaches to reveal the dynamics of service users' and professionals' individual experiences.

Biography and social exclusion in Europe: Experiences and life journeys
Throughout Europe, standardised approaches to social policy and practice are being radically questioned and modified. Beginning from the narrative detail of individual lives, this book rethinks welfare predicaments, emphasising gender, generation, ethnic and class implications of economic and social deregulation. Taking an innovative socio-biographical approach to comparative social policy, it argues that understanding individually differentiated…

The Turn to Biographical Methods in Social Science
A Biographical Turn in the Social Sciences? A British-European View
Biographical research is increasingly used for understanding current historical and cultural changes and for purposes of education, training, and policy development. This "biographizing" movement is part of a broader picture of shifting configurations of concerns, concepts, and methodologies. In 2000, the introduction to the authors' The Turn to Biographical Methods in Social Science attempted such a picture. The authors wanted to promote greater…
Cultures of careBiographies of carers in Britain and the two Germanies: Biographies of carers in Britain and the two Germanies
This book explores the experiences of informal home carers in the different welfare systems of the former West Germany and East Germany, and Britain. It is innovative in using a biographical case study approach to compare caring situations and caring strategies in the three different societies. The detail and variety of the case studies show how particular social and welfare patterns give rise to recognisable ‘cultures of care’. The book shows ho…
Cultures of care: Biographies of carers in Britain and the two Germanies
The Biographical Challenge of Caring
The article discusses the contribution of narrative methods to the contextualised study of subjectivity. More specifically, it introduces the key features of biographical interpretive methods, which derive from phenomenology, and presents four case studies of carers in East and West Germany. Through the cases, the article explores inner and outer dimensions of carers’ coming to terms with disability, together with patterns of biographical continu…

Comparing the Informal Sphere: Public and Private Relations of Welfare in East and West Germany
With the broader purpose of extending comparative social policy to the informal sphere, the article compares the situations and strategies of home-based carers in East and West Germany. Drawing on case study material, it shows that the 'subsidiarity culture' of West Germany exerts multiple pressures which tend to pull carers into the home in a 'traditional mode' of caring, whereas system effects in the GDR propelled carers outwards in a more 'mod…

Income Maintenance and Institutional Forms: A comparison of France, West Germany, Italy and Britain 1945–90
This article undertakes a comparative analysis of income maintenance policies in France, West Germany, Italy and Britain, highlighting pensions policies in the period 1945–75 and responses to ‘new poverty’ from 1975–90. Patterns of growth in social security expenditure in the two periods are compared, and the Titmuss typology of institutional, industrial achievement and residual systems of welfare is used to trace through shifts in institutional …

The Mothers' Manifesto and Disputes over 'Mutterlichkeit
From the standpoint of Thatcher's privatized Britain, the Mother's Manifesto, issued by a section of women in the West German Greens in 1987, seems radical indeed. Its demands include collective provision for child care, a revision of urban design, pay and pensions for home carers, flexible employment, increased leisure time, and the facilitation of political activity for mothers (Table 1). Yet it provoked a year-long blaze of discussion in the F…
