Summary/Abstract: The article presents the basic cognitive-theoretic assumptions and procedures of the documentary analysis of narrative-biographical interviews. There is a particular attention paid to the possibility of combining different analytical perspectives including sequential analysis “along” the text and dialogic “across” the text. Also, the basic trips of premature over-interpretation of the narrative-biographical text are to be discussed. The structure of the article corresponds to the typical stages of the documentary interpretation proposed by Ralf Bohnsack. The reader learns the typical phases of the analysis on the example of the interview with a special educator and foster parent in one person. The interpretation focuses on a new model of the pedagogical professionalism blurring the boundaries between professional and family biography.
