In this article an analytic revision of both theoretical and practical fundamentals of Narrative research was made; to make this possible, it starts answering the question about what Narrative research is, as a phenomenon that has been gaining space in the Social Studies field.

From these two basic assumptions, it goes deeper into the characteristics of Narrative Research, with special attention to the particularities characteristic of the relativist position. It ends with a panorama of the possible applications of Narrative Research in Psychology, taking into account various works that illustrate the application of this research form in that field.Downloads
