The question is approached by presenting asingle-case study of a youth care worker, whose attempts to find employment in her field anforge a professional identity are frustrated by the 2008. Methodologically, the research isbased on an in-depth interview conducted an analyzed using Wengraf an Chamberlayne’sBiographical Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) The Method is a psychosocial approachto biography focused on narrative as a source of evidence for the understanding ofsubjectivity.
