Abstract

The following work aims to discuss the scope, limitations, necessities and opportunities in the application of the semi- structured interview. To achieve this, we use the interview itself as a way of approaching the experiences, conceptions and perspectives of David Pavón-Cuéllar, a psychologist and philosopher of Marxist-Lacanian critical school. Through the interview and with the information obtained, concepts such as method, technique, theory and psychology are discussed, considered and problematized, to finally raise the possibility of a psychological and social research practice differentiated from the hegemonic one.
