Experienced life history and narrated life story (erlebte und erzählte Lebensgeschichte) 
A fundamental problem exists regarding the differences between the levels of the experienced (erlebte) life history and the narrated (erzählte) life story. Another fundamental implication is the interrelation of experience, memory, and narration. In the early studies of biographical research, great value was placed on the reconstruction of the actual life course of the individual using data from additional sources (such as institutional archives, diaries, interviews with relatives and friends, etc.) and thus eliminating "errors" in the memory and presentation of the interviewee. Today – according to the phenomenological "bracketing" of the being of objects (as by the grounded theory principles) – it is increasingly assumed that the actual life course cannot be reconstructed: experiences are always interpreted by the subject and are mediated by perception, thus constituting the memory in regard to the framework of the overall biography as well as to the situation (for more, see Erving Goffmann notion of frame analysis) where the narrative is collected.

Thus, the main concern of the biographical research should be the life as experiences and narrated by subjects in clear contrast to the "true facts" of a life course reconstruction. Interpretations and constructions of meaning are of utmost importance to reconstruct a biographical case, as the actions and the self-interpretation of these actions by the individual turns his own biography into a coherent totality. Based on empirical experiences with narrated life history and using the research method of biographical narrative interviews, the method of biographical case reconstruction has developed in the last decades in fields that range from the study of migration to professional careers and healthcare.

Reconstruction of the latent structures of meaning 
The question of the construction of meaning leads to the questions of the subjectively intended and the objective meaning. Ulrich Oevermann says that an actor in a situation of interaction produces more meaning than he is aware of. Therefore, some researchers consider the task of the biographical research to be the reconstruction of both types of meaning – the intended and the objective. Behind and below the interpretations expressed by the interviewees are the latent structures of meaning that constitute the sense of life and manifest themselves in biographical life situations. In these latent, hidden patterns of meaning, individual experience and societal conditioning are intertwined. Thus
Rosenthal, 1993; and Susann Kluge, 2000). 

 Experienced life history and narrated life history (erlebte und erzählte Lebensgeschichte) 
 A cardinal problem exists involve the deviation between the levels of the experienced (erlebte) life history and the tell (erzählte) life sentence story. Another cardinal deduction is the interrelation of experience, memory, and narration. In the early report of biographical research, great value was placed on the reconstruction of the actual life course of the person using data from additional source (such as institutional archives, diaries, interview with relatives and friend, etc .) and thus eliminating " errors " in the memory and presentation of the interviewee. Today – according to the phenomenological " bracketing " of the organism of objects (as by the grounded theory principles) – it is increasingly assumed that the actual life path cannot be reconstructed: experiences are always interpreted by the subject and are mediated by perception, thus constituting the memory in regard to the model of the overall biography equally well as to the situation (for more, see Erving Goffmann notion of frame of reference analysis) where the narrative is collected. 

 Thus, the chief concern of the biographical research should be the life as experience and narrated by subjects in clear contrast to the " true facts " of a liveliness course reconstruction. Interpretations and constructions of meaning are of utmost importance to remodel a biographical font, as the actions and the self - interpretation of these actions by the individual turns his own biography into a coherent entirety. Based on empirical experiences with narrate life history and using the research method of biographic narrative interviews, the method of biographical case reconstruction has developed in the concluding decades in field that range from the discipline of migration to professional careers and healthcare. 

 Reconstruction of the latent structures of intend 
 The question of the structure of meaning leads to the questions of the subjectively intended and the objective meaning. Ulrich Oevermann say that an actor in a situation of interaction produces more meaning than he is aware of. Therefore, some researchers see the task of the biographical inquiry to be the reconstruction of both types of meaning – the intended and the objective. Behind and below the interpretations expressed by the interviewees are the latent structures of meaning that establish the sense of life and manifest themselves in biographical life situations. In these latent, hidden design of meaning, individual experience and social conditioning are loop. Thus
