Orphan date May 2011 Biography Work based on Anthroposophy views the human circle of life on one hand as being embedded in the rhythms of nature and the cosmos on the other hand shaped by the individual power of creativity in everyone s Self. History Biography Work goes back to the publications of Bernard Lievegoed in the 1970s. Before this time, there were only widespread references in Rudolf Steiner s comprehensive lecture work, pointing at certain regularities in human s circle of life. Lievegoed summarized these data and introduced a new way of life consultation to the world, using a work process he had developed in co operation with Gudrun Burkhard. Method Biography Consultants support their clients in developing a continuous view of the past in order to achieve a new evaluation of past events in their life. Any single event loses its weight and the process like character of all events and their interaction become more important. Biography Work assumes that any human being is obliged to comply with tasks in life. These life tasks, stemming from our subconscious levels. are the driving force to our behaviour. Biography Work helps to get closer to this central theme the red thread that runs through each life. Biography Work is not supposed to be a therapy. Biography Work is a way of life consultation where consultant and client work together on eye level .

When studying literature, biography and its relationship to literature is often a subject of literary criticism , and is treated in several different forms. Two scholarly approaches use biography as a tool for interpreting literature, literary biography and biographical criticism, and two genre s of fiction rely very heavily on the incorporation of biographical elements, biographical fiction and autobiographical fiction. Literary biography A literary biography is the exploration of the lives of writers and artists. Biographies about artists and writers are sometimes some of the most complicated forms of biography. ref name backschneider1113 Not only does the author of the biography have to write about the subject of the biography but also incorporate the relevance of individual works by the subject into the biography itself. ref name backschneider1113 ref name karl Karl, Frederick R. Joseph Conrad in Meyers ed. The Craft , pp 69 88 ref Literary biographers must balance the weight of commentary on the individual works alongside the biographical content in order to create a coherent narrative. ref name backschneider1113 This balance is effected by the degree of biographical elements in an author s literary works.

He also wanted to ensure that his readers would recognize the entires on the chart.
