„Über das Gesagte hinaus“ – Beraten lernen als rekonstruktiver Professionalisierungsprozess im Studium der Sozialen Arbeit.

The article examines the convergences between the practical sociology of knowledge with the docu-
mentary method (DM) and humanistic psychology with the person-centred approach (PZA) in the context of the professionalization of social work. On the basis of two counseling interviews from a teaching research project, it is analyzed how orientation dilemmas between norm and habitus are documented in the counseling situation and how these can be dealt with through person-centered conversation. The results show that both approaches understand implicit knowledge as significant and take a stand against an expertocratic understanding in research and counseling practice. While the DM as a research method reconstructs the collective production practice of social reality, the PCA as a counseling method concentrates on the individual experience. The interweaving of both approaches opens up new perspectives for the training of counseling skills in social work.
