“…Biographical research is not confined to a single method of analysis (Eichsteller, 2019). Our analysis combined elements of Schütze's sequential analysis (Holstein, 2019; Rieman, 2019) and Rosenthal's reconstructive approach (Rosenthal & Fischer‐Rosenthal, 2004; Rosenthal, 2004, 2018).…”

Stigma is detrimental to persons experiencing mental distress, as it impacts on their social inclusion, quality of life, and recovery. In this article, we present the self‐presentation strategies employed by persons with psychosis to manage internalized stigma. A study of the life trajectories of persons with psychosis analyzed 27 biographical interviews and identified five types of biographical trajectories. This article focuses on one biographical type, represented by six narratives. Participants placed in this biographical type struggle to portray a socially acceptable self through concealing experiences of distress and distancing the self from the psychiatric label they entail. This was achieved through several strategies, including the normalization of prior life, unwillingness to disclose psychotic experiences, unquestioning compliance with psychiatric medication, and presenting oneself as an ordinary person. Fostering more adaptive coping strategies to reduce internalized stigma may be a potential goal for psychosocial interventions.

“…The aim of this study has been to develop a sequential model of different phases of Spanish migrants' biographies and how they are interconnected. In doing so it makes use of a type of methodology and analysis that has turned out to be fruitful and 'fine-grained' for discovering and reconstructing biographical and other social processes (Schütze, 2008;Riemann, 2018). In developing a specific form of biographical research, German sociologist Fritz 1.…”

“…Instead, the issue seemed to lie in the lack of specific interpretation tools that take textual features of qualitative data into account and provide writers with a specific analytical vocabulary. This vocabulary has emerged in the minute sequential analysis of autobiographical narratives (Riemann, 2018).…”

“…The three informants differed in important aspects, including their age, generational locations (Mannheim, 1928), gender, education, work experiences and general biographical circumstances. The purpose of these case studies was to gain some initial analytical distance from the field to provide the reader with insights into my way of analysing data (Riemann, 2018) and to engage in contrasting comparisons in the sense of Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). These case studies and their contrasting comparisons served as a basis for developing sensitising research questions and concepts.…”

“…In such cases, these experiences only became visible in symptomatic (i.e. non-intentional) textual indicators, such as self-corrective background constructions (Schütze, 2008;Riemann 2018), complex argumentative sequences (e.g. before a coda) 6 , and conspicuous intonation patterns.…”

Since the beginning of the economic crisis of 2008, Spain, like other Southern European countries, has witnessed a mass departure of mostly young people looking for opportunities abroad. Leaving Spain is based on 58 autobiographical narrative interviews with recent Spanish migrants who went to the UK and Germany, and sometimes returned. By presenting a combination of in-depth case studies and comparative analyses, the author demonstrates the potential of biographical research and narrative analysis in studying contemporary Europe, including its overlapping crises. The scope of the sociological study is not limited to examining how those who left Spain experienced single phases of their migration. Instead, it focuses on the significance of migration projects in the context of their life histories and how they make sense of these experiences in retrospect. This book will not only be of great interest to social scientists and students in different disciplines and interdisciplinary studies such as sociology, anthropology, human geography, European studies, education, and social work, but also to professionals, European and national policy makers, and those interested in learning more about migrants’ experiences, perspectives, and (often invisible) contributions.
