Abstract	Before the article was published in "European Studies on Inequalities and Social Cohesion" in 2008, it was presented as an educational module in the context of the research project "Invite. New Ways of Biographical Counselling in Vocational Rehabilitative Training", conducted in the years 2003-2006 under the Leonardo da Vinci programme of the EU. The article deals with the complex task of professional counsellors in vocational rehabilitation to encourage and to support the biographical work of their clients. Firstly, the text stresses the importance of biographical insights in the life course of clients within the counselling processes of vocational rehabilitation. Secondly, the basic social science concepts that are important for biography analysis are developed: identity and self; developing identities; developing identities; fluid, fragmented and fractured identities, situational identities vs. biographical identity unfolding as long-term processes. Thirdly, the concept of biographical work is explicated, and fourthly, a theoretical model for biographical counselling in rehabilitation situations is outlined.
