DOMINGUEZ DE LA OSSA, Elsy y HERRERA GONZALEZ, José Darío. Narrative inquiry in psychology: definition and functions. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2013, vol.30, n.3, pp.620-641. ISSN 2011-7485.
In this article we made an analytic revision of both theoretical and practical fundamentals of Narrative research; 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. Then, a review is made of the theoretical principles of Narrative Research differentiating two epistemological positions: realistic position, which is more conventional and common in qualitative studies, and relativist position, that is newer and considered as the distinctive one of Narrative Research. 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.
