The biographical approach is based on an opinion that the previous experience, motivations, family traditions and practices, sociocultural and economic backdrops of the person’s family biography define his/her current and future professional needs.http://jour.fnisc.ru/upload/journals/1/articles/4807/submission/proof/4807-61-9585-1-10-20170625.pdf
