Notes	Middle class as the study group -- Identity/identity work -- Research process and methodological procedure -- Identity work strategies in the course of over-indebtedness/insolvency -- Crisis of identity - exemplary case descriptions -- Lonely or together? Lifeworld of couples in over-indebtedness -- Concluding remarks and review of results -- Appendices The authors examine identity strategies of middle-class couples who come under pressure of over-indebtedness. Based on biographical interviews collected in a qualitative panel study in three waves, they explore the question of how identity is worked on in the couple and how identity changes when social decline threatens. The theory-generating analysis brings out patterns of coping with over-indebtedness and self-placement described along the notions of 'continuity', 'modification' and 'moratorium'. Similarly, they explore how lifeworlds are constructed in and with over-indebtedness as a couple. The authors Dr. Marion Müller is Managing Director of the sine Institute, Munich.
