Abstract
The text presents a reflection on the meaning of qualitative research in psychology. This examines its traditional definition, its relationship to psychological knowledge and the manipulation of their techniques. Qualitative research is advocated as a scientific activity, characterized by rigor, systematicity and argumentation. Options are proposed for self-empowerment.
