Biographical Reconstruction is a methodological approach in qualitative research that systematically reassembles an individual’s life experiences and developmental trajectory from retrospective accounts, distinguishing it from other narrative analyses by its focus on constructing a temporally coherent and contextually situated life history through iterative interpretation of biographical data.
