The questions to be answered are How are the authors coping resources manifested?, In which ways are the coping resources influenced and integrated by the use of them? and Which differences and similarities can be identified?. The field of investigation is deemed interesting due to its high actuality for the social worker profession. The applied method is one of quantitative data, where coded material from the self biographies are mapped through a Framework matrix. Throughout the study ethical factors such as treating the authors stories with respect were considered.
