Career interview

By reflecting on his career and important influences on his personal and professional development Peter Sommerfeld draws a picture of the societal context of this career as well as of the development of social work (in Switzerland) in a historical perspective. Somehow it is a showpiece how biographical interviews may serve to understand not only the personal biography but also the wider interrelations. And somehow, theory building and scientific developments get a human and this means also a social face.

Abstract

By reflecting on his career and important influences on his personal and professional development Peter Sommerfeld draws a picture of the societal context of this career as well as of the development of social work (in Switzerland) in a historical perspective. Somehow it is a showpiece how biographical interviews may serve to understand not only the personal biography but also the wider interrelations. And somehow, theory building and scientific developments get a human and this means also a social face.
