During the last two decades there has been an increase in the number of studies, especially in the Nordic countries, of the talk between social worker and client. This paper presents an overview of these studies. The focus of many of the studies has been the transformation of a private citizen with a personal financial problem into a client with an institutionally legitimate financial problem. This transformation process is mainly effected in the conversation between social worker and client.
